Red Bull have revealed they have been putting 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Liam Lawson through his paces in a private test ahead of his debut F1 season with the team.

The 23-year-old New Zealander, who only has 11 grands prix starts under his belt, recently drove Red Bull’s title-winning RB19 at Jerez as he ramped up his preparations for the u🐲pcoming 2025 season.

After impressing as a late-season stand-in for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Daniel Ricciardo at Red Bull’s sister team Racing Bulls towards the end of 2024, Lawson earned promotion to become 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen’s next teammate at the senior squad.

Lawson has taken the seat formerly held by168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Sergio Perez, wh🅰o was dropped by Red Bull following an abysmal cam🎉paign.

To help get Lawson up to speed with the team and his new engineers who will support hi⛦m in 2025, Red Bull provided him with the chance to sample their 2023 challenger earlier this month at the Jerez circuit in Spain.

Lawson is set to get his first taste of Red Bull’s 2025 cꦆar on Tuesday when he and Verstappen shake down the RB🌄21 during a filming day in Bahrain.

That will🤡 take place a day before F1 pre-season testing at the Sakhir track, where Verstappen and Laws꧋on will split driving duties from 26-28 February.

“So obviously we’re doing the best job we can to make the car as faꦉst as possible. And for me, if we’🔯re in a position that we’re fighting for winning the constructors’, then I’m doing my job.

“So I think that’s really where sort of the team’s goal for me, and theꦏir expectation for me is at, outside of, obviously my goals in Formula 1.”

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has reiterated his side are trying to avoid pil🍒ling too much pressure on Lawson’s shoulders.

“Liam's job is quite clear," Horner said. “He’s there to try and provide as much support as he possibly can. There's not an expectation for him to go out and beat a four-time world champion. If he beats 🐎him, fantastic, and there's no order to say 🌸that he can’t.

“But I think it's a matter of trying to take the pressure off Liam as best we can. He has been part of our team for a couple of years as test and reserve driver. One of the things that really impressed u♔s about him is his mental strength and resilience.

“Being Max's teammate is probably the toughest seat in Formula 1. We'll do our best to protect him and develop him. He only has 11 Grands Prix under his 𒐪belt, so it's a big ask. But I think he's got all the capability and talent and mental strength to be able to deal with that.”
