Lawson Details ‘Biggest Challenge’ of Red Bull Switch
Liam Lawson said he had to prepare for two different Formula One cars before Red Bull confirmed his Monza seat.
- On Wednesday, Red Bull confirmed that New Zealander Liam Lawson will drive at this weekend's Italian Grand Prix at Monza, replacing Frenchman Isack Hadjar who remains sidelined with a wrist injury.
