Lawson is excited about the opportunity to partner with Verstappen. The future Red Bull driver said that he is not afraid of the prospect of competing with the four-time Formula 1 champion, and that he sees this as an opportunity to improve himself and eventually challenge Max.
There is no one better for me to learn a lot from. This is an opportunity to become the best racer I can be.
As a reserve pilot, you are present at every session, listening to how the team works. You are present at all the briefings, you participate in the development of the car, you work on the simulator in preparation for the team for the race, you have access to everything.
So yes, it was a very valuable opportunity for me to watch how Max works, how he interacts with the team, how he controls the car, how he thinks while behind the wheel.
And now I can take another step forward and compare myself with him next year. So yes, although on the one hand I will be facing the most difficult opponent possible, on the other hand Max is the best rider possible, from whom I could learn a lot. And this is a great opportunity for me.
And I`m ready for this. I don`t expect to go out on the track and immediately start winning races, being the best in the peloton. It is clear that I do not have such expectations. I know that the team`s goal will be to fight for the Constructors` Championship, and if we have the opportunity to fight for this, I will do my job.
If we talk about personal goals, it is clear that in the long term I want to become a Formula 1 champion, to be the best, and I will try to achieve this as early as possible, " said Lawson.
