Red Bull suffered a bizarre problem during Wednesday's 2025 pre-season testing morning session. The first official timed session of the year saw Max Verstappen's new team-mate Liam Lawson take to the Bahrain International Circuit, with four-time champion Verstappen set to make his 2025 bow in the afternoon session.

Red Bull have revealed they have been putting Liam Lawson through his paces in a private test ahead of his debut F1 season with the team. The 23-year-old New Zealander, who only has 11 grands prix starts under his belt, recently drove Red Bull’s title-winning RB19 at Jerez as he ramped up his preparations for the upcoming 2025 season.

Liam Lawson is relishing the challenge of going up against Max Verstappen at Red Bull, despite the struggles of his predecessors.
