168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson says Red Bull boss Christian Horner told him last year he would be guaranteed an F1 seat at some point during the 2024 season.

The 22-year-old New Zealander has replaced 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo at Red Bull’s sister team RB for the rest of the season, w𓆏ith six grands prix and three sprint races remaining.

Lawson has acted as Red Bull’s rese⛎rve🌺 driver since 2022 and contested five races last season when Ricciardo was ruled out after breaking his hand in a practice crash at Zandvoort.

After an impressive cameo, with his best performance coming in Singapore where he outqualified168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Max Verstappen to ꧑reach Q3 and scored points, Lawson revealed Horner promised him a drive with one of Red Bull’s teams 🌟in 2024.

“The idea of me jumping in is something that Christian told me a year ago,” Lawson told the F1 Nation 𓆉podcast.

“When I stepped out of the car, that was one of the things he said to me that, he said ‘I give you my word I’ll basically have you in a race at so𒈔me point next year’.

🎃“So I always knew that was the intention and it had been talked꧅ about.

“As you know Formula 1 is a rollercoaster and every weekend things change. So one minute it looks really good and then it doesn’t loo൩k good ༒and it’s all depending on how the guys are actually going.

“It’s a bit h🔯orrible to be honest because you’re sitting there wondering what your chances are of driving and it completely depends on how the guys that are currently driving are doing.

“And you don’t obviously want somebody’s downfall to be y𝐆our way in but for me to drive somebody has to leave, obviously.

“There was no clear route of where that was going to be though. So it wasn’t like ’in 12 months time, you are going to switch with this p☂erson’, it was ‘in 12 months time we’re going to have you a seat, we just don’t know where yet’.

“So that was where, throughout the year, ඣthe disc꧙ussions were being had and it was actually Baku time when Christian finally told me I’d be jumping in.”

Asked what he has been told by Red Bull he needs to achieve in order to get a full-time seat for 2025, Lawson replied: “Basically they a💎re expecting me to perform at least as weꦰll as Yuki.

“That’s the goal from the team. They want me to match him and perform. They want points. Theไ team is obviously fighting for sixth in the constructors’ and that’s quite important for VCARB.

“So basically to score is the goal and at that point we’re basically doing a good job. Honestly, that’s the target that’s been set. But we’re always being evaluated. It’s been like that since I was 16 joinꩵing Red Bull.

“It’s always performance-based. We’re always under evaluation, so ♎it’s no di🔯fferent really to how it’s always been.”
