Liam Lawson will become the next driver tasked with keeping up with four-time Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen, Red Bull have confirmed.
New Zealander Lawson will replace Sergio Perez, whose departure from Red Bull after four seasons and five race wins was announced on Wednesday.
At just 22, Lawson has only driven in 11 grands prix across the past two seasons for Racing Bulls – Red Bull’s rebranded second team – but he was preferred to team-mate Yuki Tsunoda for promotion.
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said: “Liam’s performances over the course of his two stints with Racing Bulls have demonstrated that he’s not only capable of delivering strong results but that he’s also a real racer, not afraid to mix it with the best and come out on top.
“His arrival continues the Team’s long history of promoting from within the Red Bull Junior Programme and he follows in the footsteps of championship and race-winning drivers such as Sebastian Vettel and of course, Max Verstappen.
“There’s no doubt that racing alongside Max, a four-time champion and undoubtedly one of the greatest drivers ever seen in F1, is a daunting task, but I’m sure Liam can rise to that challenge and deliver some outstanding results for us next year.”
