Lawson Details Last-Minute Red Bull F1 Call-Up, Feels no Pressure for Dutch GP

Liam Lawson was informed about his potential Red Bull F1 call-up as he returned to the UK from his holiday break, heading into the Dutch GP weekend with both pressure and excitement. This marks his second time being called up to replace a teammate at the same venue, having previously substituted Daniele Ricciardo at Racing Bulls.

Red Bull has now replaced Isack Hadjar with Lawson due to his wrist injury. Despite the sudden change, Lawson found himself pleasantly surprised by the news on Monday, after arriving back in the UK. He had just one simulator session at Milton Keynes and managed to complete seat fitting after landing back in the UK. While there is pressure for Lawson, as it could impact his future in F1, and he has to be ready for Newman's promotion of Nikola Tsolov, he remains focused on the opportunity to drive a different car and help the team secure a good result.
