RB racer Liam Lawson to replace Sergio Perez at Red Bull

Abu Dhabi: After a disappointing season for Sergio Perez, which effectively saw the team drop out of the hunt to win their third consecutive Constructors’ title, Red Bull has decided to replace the 34-year-old with RB racer Liam Lawson in the next season.  According to a report by Motorsports.com, Red Bull have already decided to replace Perez with the New Zealand driver and are currently working on a plan to release the six-time race winner with talks of appointing him as the team’s ambassador.

The move not only brings the question of Lawson’s capabilities as a driver, given he will be joining one of the fastest teams on the grid, but also outlines the snub of Yuki Tsunoda who has been with Red Bull’s sister team, VISA Cash App RB F1 Team, since 2021.

Question marks remain over what will happen to Perez once that chequered flag has flown in Abu Dhabi – with Horner confirming that he was set to discuss the Mexican’s future following the conclusion of the season. IANS
