That&#8217;s the view of former McLaren driver Juan Pablo Montoya as the Kiwi struggles to recover from the blow of being dropped from the senior team.<\/p>\n<p>Liam Lawson&#8217;s career trajectory has nosedived this season, and compared to where he was at the start of the year, teammate to Max Verstappen at Red Bull, he looks at an uncertain future. The Kiwi started the year with the senior team but after a woeful start to life with the team in the first two races, he was promptly replaced by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/yuki-tsunoda\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Yuki Tsunoda<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Admittedly suffering from the blow of being dropped after just two weekends, Liam Lawson was then moved to Racing Bulls where he has been teamed up with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/isack-hadjar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Isack Hadjar<\/a>. The Kiwi has been decent and has shown glimpses of pace, but it does appear that the French rookie has the edge over him in general.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>With both Racing Bulls drivers on a 1-year contract and Red Bull junior Arvid Lindblad showing impressive form early in Formula 2, there are suggestions that the Austrian team would want to fast-track the young driver to F1 to see how good he can be. If that happens, one of the two drivers in the sister team would face the boot.<\/p>\n<p>Talking to AS, Juan Pablo Montoya felt that it wouldn&#8217;t surprise him if Arvid Lindblad got the shot in 2025 as Red Bull dropped Liam Lawson. He said,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI\u2019ll tell you the truth. If Liam doesn\u2019t improve any further, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if they put Lindblad in at some point. Not at all. I wouldn\u2019t be a little surprised. Honestly, Liam has been given the green light last year and has proven that he has what it takes to do a good job. They gave him the Red Bull seat, and he won it.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He added,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe Red Bull situation was complicated and I think it took a very strong blow to his liver, and he needs a lot of psychological treatment after that. And if he doesn\u2019t recover soon, I\u2019m sure Red Bull will start looking elsewhere because that\u2019s how they work. It\u2019s Red Bull, it\u2019s a bit like what\u2019s happening with Alpine right now. Whenever Franco [Colapinto] doesn\u2019t do well, the same thing will happen.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>Red Bull&#8217;s next big prospect<\/h2>\n<p>The Austrian team&#8217;s next big prospect appears to be Arvid Lindblad, and the youngster is someone that the senior personnel have spoken very highly of. The young driver is currently competing in F2 and is only 17 years of age. The driver has already picked up a win in the series, becoming the youngest driver to do so.<\/p>\n<p>Lindblad was spoken of highly by Helmut Marko as well early in the year in an interview with the Inside Line Podcast, where the Austrian said,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We are not looking for a new Max, we are looking for a new champion and I think the next one which looks really promising is Arvid Lindblad. I think in the past, if I compare with [Jack] Doohan, or with [Oscar] Piastri, or also with [Oliver] Bearman, they had a lot of tests in the two-year-old version Formula 1 car.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He added,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cFor example, Liam Lawson didn\u2019t have this opportunity, and also [Isack] Hadjar, to a certain amount, didn\u2019t have this opportunity. And this we will change for Arvid that he, if he makes a very good season in Formula 2, that he can go with good experience into Formula 1 in 2026. Maybe.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Liam Lawson, on his part, would be hoping to reclaim the kind of form that helped him secure a seat alongside Max Verstappen, even though it does appear that the driver is yet to hit his groove alongside Isack Hadjar at Racing Bulls.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/177998-1660764913-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Charanjot Singh Kohli&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-detail-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nCharanjot is an F1 writer and Content Specialist at Sportskeeda with over 5 years of experience covering news, trends, and analyses related to the sport. <\/p>\n<p>He started watching F1 when Narain Karthikeyan made his F1 debut in 2005 and was hooked when Kimi Raikkonen delivered a stunning lap in Monaco in the same season.
