Lawson is also in contention for the Super Formula title in Japan - a prestigious single-😼seater championship.

Speaking on ServusTV, Marko has been impressed with how Lawson has been performing in F1 2023, declaring “the speed is there”.

“Liam has been with us for a✅ while. He is a tough but very smart man in a fight, a bit like Bruce McLaren. This is certainly someone for the future.

“The speed was there [last week🌸end in Italy], and that is a goo𓆏d sign.”

Lawson’s form could give Red Bull a headache♑ as they have four💛 drivers with just three seats.

Many expe﷽ct Tsunoda to remain at AlphaTauri, while Daniel Ricciardo has his eyes on a full season with the team following his surpr🐼ise comeback.

However, if Lawson continues to impress, particularly if he wins the Supe🔯r Formula title, Marko may be forced to make a decision.

“However, he is now still driving in the Japanese championship, and there he is second in a very, very difficult battle. The 🔜cars are faster there than in Formula 2,” he added.

“However, because it is in Japan, it is 🐎not viewed that way here.

“Maybe he can win t💎he title there. Will he get a [full-time] seat instead of [staying] a reserve driver? That could hܫappen quickly.”
