Grid is what it is. Issue is, how to manage it to induce rotation and allow young drivers in..
If it's not Lawson, I'll be disappointed. And this is coming from a Ricciardo fan (he's either not got it anymore, or not convinced the team to make the car changes he needs to be succesful).Everso Biggyballies wrote: ↑2 weeks ago Marko hints at Singapore target for second RB 2025 driver reveal
Helmut Marko says that the RB line-up will be revealed after next week's Singapore Grand Prix. Note, not at the SGP. Sometime between Singapore in Austin.
Daniel Ricciardo and Liam Lawson are believed to be the frontrunners for the drive alongside Yuki Tsunoda in Formula 1 next season.Isack Hadjar is another option, and is currently locked in an F2 title battle a.RB may see fit to promote him into a race seat.
"We have an idea, so just wait until Singapore," Marko told Viaplay. "It's still September and then we'll have a clear picture.
"It will become clear there what will happen [with RB's remaining 2025 seat]."
Marko had previously told Austrian newspaper Kleine Zeitung that Liam Lawson "will definitely be in one of our cars next year" - and hence it would be logical that the New Zealander comes in to replace Ricciardo at the team.
2019 GTP Accuracy Champion 2021 GTP Accuracy Champion 2022 Picks and Predictions Champion Well, we will obtain confirmaton soon how accurate is that rumor.Rumours are swirling this week that Red Bull is finally ready to reveal its plans for its second F1 team RB - and those plans may begin in Singapore with Liam Lawson immediately taking over from 35-year-old Ricciardo.
After Baku, Dutch journalist Rick Winkelman claimed that, according to his sources, the story is true.
I have understood from several people that Liam Lawson will definitely drive in Singapore, he told Ziggo Sport.
.https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/will ... /10655043/There is a seat available at Sauber for next season, which will become Audi a year after, and in an exclusive interview with Motorsport.com, Vowles insisted he was open to talks that would allow Colapinto to take his place alongside Nico Hulkenberg with the rival outfit.
"In two races he showed the world he's deserving of a place in Formula 1," said Vowles.
"So I have always been a firm believer that you have to let good drivers race. So we'll see if we can find a way of working with Audi in that circumstance. That's what I was implying for next year.
"Let's see what it ends up being because we have our driver line-up cemented - I think it's still the right line-up for Williams as we're growing and becoming world championship material.
"But I'm incredibly proud, like a father, of what Franco's achieved, and want him to be successful, and also the right way of having him back here in Williams performing is making sure that he's building his career. Simple as that."
On whether a release would be possible whilst retaining Colapinto within the family, Vowles replied: "So, I won't go into the contractual arrangements, but he will always be within the family. And that's what you need to know, but that doesn't mean he can't race elsewhere."
Driving Miss Daisy would be equally appropriate.
A lot of content that would be said by someone just promotd and not something someone released would talk about.“Funnily enough, I was actually racing in New Zealand when I got signed,” Lawson said.
“So we have this series – it used to be really, really popular. A lot of F1 guys have been there.
“Lando [Norris] raced in it, Lance Stroll raced in it, a couple of guys in F1 raced in it.
“It’s called the Toyota Racing Series and it used to run five weeks over January in New Zealand in summertime, whereas everywhere in Europe and the US would be a lot colder, so there’d be no racing.
“So you used to get drivers from all over different championships, really high level.
“So as a kid being into Formula 1, I would watch this series every single year, and I dreamed of driving it – to me, it was like the Formula 1 of racing at the time.
“I finally got to compete in this series after doing my first year in Europe,” he added.
“After the first weekend that, basically I had a really strong first weekend, there was a Red Bull driver racing at the time – Lucas Auer.
“He was racing, he was my team-mate, so I guess Helmut [Marko] was watching because of Lucas racing. I had a really good first weekend.
“I never thought anything like that would happen.
“Being a Red Bull Junior was something that… I remember, the year before, I raced in F4 in Europe and Jack Doohan was a Red Bull junior at the time, and we tested together somewhere; might have been Hockenheim in Germany.
“I remember seeing him walking around in his Red Bull suit and I remember thinking that was so cool and how cool it would be to be a Red Bull Junior.”
Having seemingly impressed Marko, Lawson got the call soon after.
It had a profound impact on the young Kiwi, who admits it left him unable to walk.
“I got the call up after that first weekend in New Zealand, I found out one or two days after the weekend – I was sitting in a cafe, I remember exactly where I was sitting,” he said.
“I remember I couldn’t walk! It was really strange. I got told, and I was obviously pretty emotional but I was like, ‘Dude, I gotta go for a walk’, and I couldn’t really walk properly! It was super weird.”
