Ralf Schumacher is sure: Ricciardo is at the end of the line, Lawson will race

Official announcement coming soon

“Wait for September” he had said Helmut Marko regarding the future of Liam Lawson, a driver that Red Bull must have racing in 2024 to prevent the New Zealander from being able to free himself from the contract that ties him to the Milton Keynes team (a few months ago Audi had tried to knock on Lawson’s door).

The F1 calendar after the Baku-Singapore double includes a three-week break, with the return to the track from 18 to 20 October in Austin, Texas, one of the favourite tracks of Daniel Ricciardo which, however, if the rumors are confirmed, will not start in the United States.

Ralph Schumacherex-pilot now commentator for Sky Sports Germanyhas declared that the Singapore GP will be Daniel Ricciardo’s last with Racing Bulls and that from Austin, alongside Yuki Tsunoda, there will be Liam Lawson. The timing coincides with what Helmut Marko has already declared and Red Bull has in fact declared that the announcement of the 2025 Racing Bulls driver is expected between Singapore and Austin. There was no doubt that it will be Liam Lawson, the ‘surprise’ is the appetizer for Lawson with the possibility of also running the last six races of the current season.
