Red Bull F1 driver 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson ♑says his ✃parents still don’t own a home after selling their house to help pay for his racing career.

Lawson is about to contest his first full season as an F1 driver alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen at Red Bull, having been pro🍬moted from sister team Racing Bulls after just 11 grands prix starts over a two𒁃-year period.

The 22-yea🗹r-old New Zealand’s road to F1 has been long and far from straightforward, requiring a big move from his native home t𝓡o Europe in order to progress up the racing ladder.

Lawson’s first racing foray in൲ Europe was in the German F4 championship aged 16, but it requℱired a huge sacrifice from his parents, who sold their house to they could better fund their son’s career.

“I think I complained to my dad for more than a year about my kart,” he told . “I’d tell him that♓ the engine sucked, but he just secretly thought that I sucked.

“Eventually, he got sick of me whining and 🐻bought two good engines, a⛄nd we put them on for the first time at this big race. And when we went out, we qualified first.

“We𒆙 started racing at the front all the time. That was the definitive moment, when karting became serious. It was always serious to me. But for my dad, everything changed that one weekend.

“They still don’t own a house. Because of me.”

Lawson reveals Ricciardo advice 

Lawson was drafted in to replace veteran 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo at Red Bull’s sister team during the back-end of the 2024 season, marking his second 🍸stint with the Faenza squad.

The Kiwi’s performances at Racing Bulls would ultimately lead to him being promoted to the senior team, where he took the seat once held by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez.

Lawson has revealed the support he received from Ricciardo, despite the Australian bei🉐ng aware he was about to lose his F1 seat.

“I actually spoke to Daniel a lot when it was happening,” he explained. “I will always have so⛄ much respect for him.

“Throughout the whole ordeal, from when the rumours started to when they were confirmed, he never𝓰 said a bad word about or towards me.

“He never made it about me and him, because at the end of the day, it wasn’t our decision. It’s up to the team, and what t🅠hey decide to do. He was so good to me,♌ through all of it.

“Fast forward to D𒀰ecember, when I got the Red Bull seat, and Daniel is still the only driver, past or🌸 present, to send me a message about it, congratulating me. It says a lot about him as a person.”
