Liam Lawson has been given a stark reminder of his ble꧙ak fate if he allows errors to creep in.

Red Bull’s Lawson spent most of the season-opening F1 Australian Grand Prix on the back foot, 💟before he crashed out of the race.

It was a drab debut for Red Bull’s main team after his promotion from their sister outfꦍit last seas𝓀on.

Lawson will have a quick chance to make amends because the second round of 2025 is this weekend ꦫat the F1 Chinese Grand Prix.

“Liam Lawson of Red Bull, in particular, will be very happy that we head immediat🥂ely into another race week so that he c൲an hopefully park the misery and errors he endured in Melbourne and put them right,” Martin Brundle wrote for Sky Sports.

“That team doesn't do cuddles and reassuring word👍s, and nor should they at t🅺his level.

“P45s are more th🐼eir thing if you can't keep Maxℱ Verstappen at least in view from time to time.”

Liam Lawson can make an impression at F1 Chinese GP

Lawson impressed in his 11 previous grands prix💛, over the past two 🌼seasons, with Red Bull’s sister team.

He was an adept replacement for Daniel Ricciardo - at ꦫfirst temporarily, then permanently.

Lawson got the nod to partner Verstappen🗹 in the top team w𒊎hen they decide to axe the underperforming Sergio Perez.

But Lawson will know that his main role th🔜is season is to provide a points-scoring foil for Verstappen, who will𒅌 aim for a fifth drivers’ title in a row.

Red Bull conceded the constructors’ championship to McLaren last ▨year, in part becaus🌳e Perez was unable to contribute any points.

So Lawson’s drab first round in Australia was notꩲ ideal for him.

He had never previouslyꦺ driven at Albert Park and, after being significantly off Verstappen’s pace in practice, he miꦦssed a session due to a power unit problem.

He was then eliminated in Q1 after a poor run, he started the grand prix from the pitlane, and was battling at the back until his efforts ended prematu🍸rely with a crash.

He will not expect🌄 much sympathy fro🍸m Red Bull whose standards are sky-high.

His replacement at Racing Bulls, Isack Hadjar, was labelled “embarrassing” by Helmut Marko for crဣying when he crashed out on the formation lap.

Red B🍸ull have axed multiple under-performing drivers but Lawson can deliver a reminder of his talents in China♏ this weekend.
