About this episode
RedBull Racing’s new signing for the 2025 F1 season returns to the pod after a huge send off by fans at home in New Zealand.
Lawson was trackside for the Next Gen NZ Championship round in Taupo at the weekend, he joined Rusty and broadcast colleague Stephen McIvor for a chat via the Stuff Speed hub - www.stuff.co.nz/speedhub
Why Lawson hasn’t changed despite the meteoric rise and how important it was to get the elbows out last year with the VCARB team to cement a place on the grid.
We also talk music and why now isn’t the time to indulge his other passion as he focuses squarely on the big opportunity with RedBull and how Liam will approach his role as teammate to the hugely talented 4-time World Champion Max Verstappen.
Get to know one of the new breed of F1 drivers a little better with this engaging chat ahead of the highly anticipated season opener in Melbourne.
