Liam Lawson shares details of Red Bull's "cutthroat" approach, including 6am calls from Helmut Marko.
The 22-year-old New Zealander is preparing to return to the F1 grid after being drafted in to replace Red Bull have gained a reputation for making brutal and controversial calls regarding their driver line-ups over the years, with Ricciardo the latest to face the axe for underperforming this season.
“Going from not being with a junior team and just having my guys from New Zealand who have helped me get to where I was at that point, to then have Red Bull Racing and Dr Helmut Marko putting pressure on you. “It’s quite often if you haven’t had a good race, it’s ‘if this continues you won’t have a future with this team’.
Lawson has been given the opportunity to stake a claim for a full-time RB seat in 2025 - and potentially at Red Bull - after an impressive five-race cameo for the junior team last season, but he insists the pressure is unchanged.
