Daniel Ricciardo has replaced Nyck de Vries in the current Formula 1 season. Red Bull junior Liam Lawson has thus not managed to secure a spot in Formula 1 for the time being. Lawson himself understands well that Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has appointed the Australian to replace the Dutchman.
The New Zealander was touted as one of the candidates to replace the Dutch driver, who did not perform satisfactorily. AlphaTauri opted for a more experienced driver and there was Ricciardo. He may drive the last 12 races of the season on behalf of the Italian racing stable.
Lawson on Ricciardo
"To jump in mid-season would have been extremely tough, and in AlphaTauri’s position, they were wanting someone experienced who has been in Formula 1 for a long time. So I understand their decision," Lawson told Motorsport.com in an interview .
"I always wanted to complete the season here [in Super Formula],” Lawson told. “My goal was to get a seat for next year. " he continued.
