Whilst Lawson is not expected to beat Verstappen, Red Bull are looking to recover from their third-place finish in the constructors’ championship in 2024, and the pressure will therefore be on for him to consistently score strong points.

The second Red Bull seat alongside Verstappen has been a tough drive for some to maintain, with the likes of Pierre Gasly and Alex Albon all making premature exits from the team for failing to match the Dutchman.

Liam Lawson gets new hairstyle

Alongside their 2025 car reveal, Red Bull have also unveiled their new team kit for the upcoming season, and have used their new driver to model their fresh look.

In a social media announcement, Lawson posed in his new team t-shirt whilst also displaying a change of his own, that did not go unacknowledged.

The post was cheekily captioned ‘New Hair, New Kit’, and showcased Lawson’s new hairstyle, in a year other F1 drivers are also trialing different looks.

Alpine’s driver lineup of Pierre Gasly and Jack Doohan have opted for the shaved head combination in their 2025 team photos, a look that did not pass unremarked for the French driver during a red carpet appearance.
