Liam Lawson Reveals if He Witness Christian Horner Tension at Red Bull

Liam Lawson has said he did not notice any tension between Christian Horner and Red Bull staff during his brief spell with the team earlier this season.



The New Zealander was called up to replace Sergio Perez despite limited experience, having just 11 grand prix starts.



His time with Red Bull lasted only two races before he was moved back to sister team Racing Bulls in favor of Yuki Tsunoda.



Horner Exit Reshaped Team



Months later, Red Bull made headlines by parting ways with Horner, who had run the team for two decades.



The move followed a slump in on-track performance and came after Jos Verstappen — father of driver Max Verstappen — warned Horner was no longer the right person to lead the squad.



When asked if he sensed any internal friction during his time there, Lawson downplayed speculation.



“No, I don’t think so. It’s not something [I noticed],” he said.



“If I was trying to be very aware of everybody’s position, then maybe I would figure something out. But I had so much to think about myself.”



Focus Was on Performance



Lawson said he concentrated on his own situation rather than wider team politics.



“I only know what the decisions were with what happened with me and I made that very clear to everybody how I felt about that,” he explained.



“Anything else regarding Red Bull’s relationship I wasn’t a part of and wasn’t really aware.”



After Horner’s departure, Laurent Mekies was promoted to team principal following 18 months in charge at Racing Bulls.



No Comparison Between Leaders



Lawson avoided drawing comparisons between Mekies and Horner, saying his short time at Red Bull offered little insight.



“I was at Red Bull for two races, so I didn’t really work much with Red Bull,” he said.



“It’s hard to say in two races. Honestly, I spent most of my time working with Laurent.”



Lawson’s comments suggest that while Red Bull’s leadership has undergone major changes, his focus remains on his own career development rather than the team’s internal politics.
