Liam Lawson is preparing for just his sixth Grand Prix start this weekend in Texas and his first of the 2024 campaign, but the young New Zealander is already being linked with a move to Red Bull. His focus, he insists, is elsewhere.

Liam Lawson is aware but not focused on Sergio Perez's uncertain Red Bull future that could earn him the promotion in 2025.

Red Bull seems to have found Sergio Perez's replacement for the 2025 season, considering his underperformance this season.

Former F1 race winner Johnny Herbert believes Red Bull need to drop Sergio Perez “sooner rather than later” – and should be replaced by RB driver Yuki Tsunoda. Perez has a contract with Red Bull until the end of 2025 – with an option for 2026 – but has struggled as Max Verstappen’s teammate this year.

Anthony Davidson says it will not surprise him at all if Red Bull replace Sergio Perez with Kiwi whizz-kid Liam Lawson for 2025, especially if they lose the Constructors’ title. Perez heads into his home grand prix this weekend trailing team mate Max Verstappen by 204 points and without a podium finish since the Chinese GP in April – 14 races ago.

Former Formula 1 driver turned FIA steward Johnny Herbert believes Red Bull has "the cojones" to replace Sergio Perez immediately because the Austrian team's second-place finish in the Constructors' Championship is now in doubt.
