Liam Lawson

Imagine a superhero who zooms around a track faster than a speeding train! That's Liam Lawson! He's a race car driver from New Zealand who drives in Formula One, the fastest car racing in the whole world. His job is to be super quick and steer his amazing car around tricky corners. He loves going fast and winning races!

Liam didn't start in a big race car. When he was only six years old, he began racing in little go-karts, like the ones you might see at an amusement park, but way faster! He was so good that he kept winning and moved up to bigger and faster cars. It’s like going from a tricycle to a bicycle, then to a motorbike, and finally to a super-duper race car!

Liam is part of a special team called the Red Bull Junior Team. They help young drivers get really good. He's also been a backup driver for the main Red Bull team, which means he was ready to jump into a race car if another driver couldn't make it. It’s like being the star player on the bench, ready to go in and score the winning goal!

Liam got to drive in his very first Formula One race in 2023. It was a huge moment! He even scored points, which means he finished in a good spot. He's now a full-time driver, which is like getting to play your favorite game every single day. He’s always trying to be the fastest and win for his team!
