Read our privacy policy Damon Hill believes Liam Lawson is the most likely candidate to step in for Sergio Perez should the Mexican be dropped ahead of the 2025 F1 season. “I would have put Carlos Sainz there but that is not going to happen,” said 1996 F1 world champion Hill, when asked about who could replace Perez at Red Bull. “So I think it is Liam Lawson, almost certainly, because they have got experience of him.” Lawson replaced Daniel Ricciardo at Red Bull’s sister team RB ahead of the US Grand Prix and has immediately impressed, scoring four points in three races. Liam Lawson has been linked with replacing Sergio Perez at Red Bull in 2025 Colapinto has scored five points since his debut in Monza in September, but as it stands will be without a seat next season with Carlos Sainz already confirmed as Alex Albon’s teammate at Williams in 2025.
