168澳洲5最新开奖结果: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5最新开奖结果:Daniel Ricciardo at Red Bull’s sister team RB for the rest of the seas♋on, with six grands prix and three sprint raceജs remaining.

Lawson has acted as Red Bull’s reserve driver since 202💞2 and contested five race🍨s 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5最新开奖结果: Max Verstappen to reach Q3 and s🀅cored points, Lawson revealed Horner promised him a drive with one of Red Bull’s teams in 2024.

“Th🍌e idea of me jumping in is something that Christian told me a year ago,” Lawson told the F1 Nation꧅ podcast.

“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 ꦅhave you in a race at some point next year’.

“So I always kꦑnew that was the intention and it ha♛d been talked about.

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

“It’s a bit horribleꦰ 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 your 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 tiꦏme, you are going to switch with this person’, 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, througho🦂ut the year, the discussions were being had and it was actually Baku time when Christian fina𝔉lly 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 are expecting me to perform a🙈t least as well as Yuki.

“That’s the goal from the team. They want me to match him and perform. They want points. The team is obviously fighting fo🦋r 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 joining Red Bull.

“It’s ☂always performance-based. We’re always under evaluation, so it’s no different really to how it’s always been.”
