Liam Lawson says the fact his immediate future in Formula 1 has been decided by Red Bull doesn't change his mindset heading into this weekend's Super Formula title decider at Suzuka.
Since his last outing in the Japanese championship two months ago, Team Mugen driver Lawson has contested five grands prix as a substitute driver with AlphaTauri, but has also learned that he will not be a regular driver for the team in 2024. It means he faces a year on the sidelines next year while being on call for both the AlphaTauri and Red Bull squads.
'There’s definitely still pressure , always! But personally, regardless of whether I’m in F1 or not next year, it doesn’t change. This weekend will still be judged very heavily by them.' Lawson heads into the Suzuka double-header facing an eight-point deficit to TOM'S driver Ritomo Miyata, with the second Mugen car of Nojiri just a further two points back in third.
