Liam Lawson’s future to be decide in crucial Red Bull meeting?

Red Bull adviser Helmut Marko has revealed the team are to hold a meeting at their Milton Keynes factory this week to discuss their poor start to the F1 2025 season.

The gathering could also prove crucial to the future of Liam Lawson, who is understood to be fighting for his seat after two consecutive Q1 exits.

Perez eventually vacated his seat at the end of the season with Lawson taking his place.
