Instead, Lawson has been confined to the sidelines as a reserve driver, a role which he hopes will provide him with opportunities for 2025.
With his newfound time, Lawson has been using his platform as a promising young racer to create interesting, and sometimes hilarious, YouTube videos for his fans, who are given a taster into what it's like to be in and around the Red Bull set up.
Lawson's Taylor Swift v Travis Kelce debate
In his latest video, Lawson has shown his subscribers a sneak-peak of what's to come from a Red Bull documentary surrounding the young New Zealander.
In the five-minute trailer, we see Lawson in a variety of different locations, competing in different activities and tackling some rather difficult questions.
One of which involves pop sensation Taylor Swift and her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce. Lawson is asked who he prefers between Swift and Kelce, a debate that has been rumbling on between music and sports fans on social media for the last few months.
It didn't take Lawson long to decide, though: "Taylor Swift," he replied without hesitation.
