# Motorsport: Red Bull CEO Christian Horner is confident Liam Lawson has the ability to succeed in Formula One after he was announced as Sergio Perez’s replacement following the Mexican’s departure. The 22-year-old New Zealander will become world champion Dutch driver Max Verstappen’s teammate next year. He only raced in 11 Grands Prix since making his debut as a replacement for injured Australian Daniel Ricciardo in the Dutch race last year. Horner says Lawson has proved he was capable of delivering strong results.
