Lawson is also in contention for the Super For๊mula title in Japan - a prestigious single-seater championship.

Speaking on ServusTV, Marko has been impressed with how Lawson has been performing in F1 2023, declaring “the speed is there”.

“Liam has been wi𒉰th us for a while. He is a tough but very smart man in a fight, a bit like Bruce McLaren. This is certainly someone for the future.

“The speed was there [last weekend in Italy], and that i🥃s a good sign.”

Lawson’s form could💯 give Re𝕴d Bull a headache as they have four drivers with just three seats.

Many expect Tsuno꧂da to remain at AlphaTauri, while Daniel Ricciardo has his eyes on a full season with the team following his surprise comeback.

However, if Lawso♈n continues to impress, particularly if he wins the Super Formula 🃏title, Marko may be forced to make a decision.

“However, he i💜s now still driving in the Japanese championship, and there he is second in a very, very difficult🍌 battle. The cars are faster there than in Formula 2,” he added.

“However, bec✅ause it is in Japan, it is not viewed that way h🐠ere.

“Maybe he can win th✅e title there. Will he get a [full-time] seat instead of [staying] a reserve driver? That could happen quickly.”
