Red Bull junior Lawson leaves F2 for Japanese series

Image
Red Bull junior driver Liam Lawson will swap F2 for Japan's Super Formula in 2023. The 20-year-old finished in third place in the 2022 Formula 2 championship, just 15 points away from second-placed Theo Pourchaire, while Felipe Drugovich clinched the title. Lawson also took part in Free Practice 1 sessions over F1 weekends for both Red Bull and AlphaTauri, and finished P5 on the timesheets in his outing for Red Bull on Friday at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Now the driver from New Zealand will make the next step in his racing career by joining Team Mugen in Super Formula.

Hill explains how Verstappen overcame junior experience void

Image
Former World Champion Damon Hill believes Max Verstappen has now bridged a gap in his racing maturity through extensive experience in Formula 1. The Red Bull driver was fast-tracked into F1 after only a single year of racing in cars, although Verstappen had an impressive karting CV to bolster his claims. Verstappen became the youngest driver to start a race in the championship by almost two years at 17 years old at the 2015 Australian Grand Prix for Toro Rosso, though the Dutchman faced criticism for mistakes and his antics during the campaign. A step up to Red Bull came in 2016, with Verstappen essentially learning his craft at the front of the field on his quest to becoming the reigning two-time World Champion.
