    A potentially career-defining three months looms large for Liam Lawson


    The Kiwi's been promoted to drive for the Racing Bulls team for the remainder of the Formula One season - which includes nine races at six venues - six full grands prix and three sprints.

    Lawson competed at five events in 2023 as an injury replacement - his best finish was ninth at Singapore.

    He says a spot on the grid in 2025 will be driven by results.
