Red Bull Racing's pick to join Max Verstappen for the 2025 season, Liam Lawson, has shared how his father reacted to the news that he was going to be joining the Austrian team. Lawson, in an interview, told the story of how he told his father about him getting the spot and his father's sentimental reaction to the news.
Lawson is joining Red Bull after it was announced earlier this week that its driver Segio Perez and it have decided to part ways. The news about him replacing Perez, who had been with the team since the 2021 season, was released one day later.
The Kiwi driver, speaking on the podcast Pitstop about his joining the Red Bull team, described how he wanted to make his father guess the big news before breaking it to him, and how once he did figure it out, he burst into tears.
