Announced overnight, Red Bull Junior driver Liam Lawson will compete in a full season of the 2021 DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters) Series.
He will race alongside ex F1 driver Alex Albon who is expected to compete in the series part-time. The car and team that both will drive for is still to be announced.
“The DTM with a high-class field and GT3 sportscars is an interesting platform and a real challenge, both for successful race drivers like Alex Albon as for our Red Bull junior driver Liam Lawson,” said Dr Helmut Marko, Red Bull Racing director.
Speculation is that an announcement will be made in the near future regarding Lawson’s entry into the FIA Formula 2 Championship. The Kiwi driver recently tested with Hitech GP who he raced for in the FIA Formula 3 Championship last season.
