Liam Lawson drove five Grands Prix last year on behalf of (then) AlphaTauri as Daniel Ricciardo's replacement. He did not do so without merit, and that is perhaps putting it mildly. For a brief moment, Lawson might have hoped to take a seat in the 2024 car, but in the end the choice fell on the Yuki Tsunoda-Daniel Ricciardo duo. The New Zealander is hoping for a permanent F1 seat in 2025, but nothing is certain.
