Liam Lawson is a race winner at pretty much every level of junior motorsport, and a front-runner in the highly competitive F3 and F2 championships. When Daniel Ricciardo broke his hand at the 2023 Dutch Grand Prix, Lawson was drafted in to drive during Ricciardo's recovery and impressed on his second outing. That Singapore weekend saw the rookie make his way into Q3 and scored valuable points on race day.

Although this didn't immediately result in a full time seat at the rebranded Visa Cash App RB team, he was once again called up in the build up to the 2024 United States Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas to drive for the team in the final six races of the season.
