'My goal is to race in F1...and this is a better stepping stone to F1.' 👇
Lawson’s long-anticipated move from Formula 2 to Super Formula was confirmed by Honda this week, with the Kiwi driver being named as team-mate to reigning two-time series championHe will become the first international Red Bull junior to race in the Japanese series since Juri Vips in late 2019 as he bids to impress for a chance to race for AlphaTauri in 2024.
Should he succeed in doing so, he would follow in the footsteps of Gasly, who arrived in Super Formula as GP2 champion in 2017 and staked his claim for a drive at the team then known as Toro Rosso the following season with a strong rookie campaign. On whether he felt matching Gasly’s record of two wins and a narrow runner-up in the standings was possible, Lawson told Autosport: “I think it’s absolutely doable.
“I’m only here for one reason, and I’m in a great position with the right team. So the goal is to be fighting for the championship.”Lawson revealed that the idea of him racing in Super Formula was first discussed around the time of the F1 Italian Grand Prix in September, and said that a move to Japan appealed more than staying in F2 for a third season.
“It’s been a tough couple of seasons in F2, so from that point of view I was quite enthusiastic to have a new opportunity,” Lawson recalled. “I didn’t want to do another season in F2, so it was perfect.
