Red Bull Racing reserve driver Liam Lawson will continue his career in the Japanese Super Formula racing series in 2023. The New Zealander signed a contract with Team Mugen, where he will partner Tomoki Nojiri.
In 2022, Lawson finished third in the Formula 2 individual standings, completing three Friday practice sessions at the wheel of Formula 1 – in Belgium and Mexico City with AlphaTauri, and in Abu Dhabi with Red Bull Racing.
Liam Lawson: “I’ve been in Formula 2 but the Super Formula car is one step ahead of me. It’s faster and has more downforce, so you have to practice a lot more.
I want to fight for the title next year. Together with Mugen, I have the best chance of this, so I’m excited. Formula 1 remains my dream, but at the moment I am fully focused on racing in Super Formula.”
