Racing Bulls F1 driver Liam Lawson will replace Sergio Perez in the Red Bull team for the 2025 F1 season.
The news came a day after Red Bull and Perez announced that they had come to a termination deal because of the Mexican's weak performance in the 2024 season.
Lawson has been moved up after only participating in 11 grands prix across two seasons.
Red Bull's team principal Christian Horner said, "There's no doubt that racing alongside Max, a four-time champion and undoubtedly one of the greatest drivers ever seen in F1, is a daunting task, but I'm sure Liam can rise to that challenge and deliver some outstanding results for us next year."
Lawson made his F1 debut at the 2023 Dutch Grand Prix. He secured ninth place at the US Grand Prix this year and his battle with Perez at the Mexico Grand Prix helped him secure a seat in Red Bull for the 2025 season.
After receiving this news, Lawson said, "It's been an incredible journey so far. I am super excited to work alongside Max and learn from a world champion, I have no doubt I will learn from his expertise. I can't wait to get going."
