Liam Lawson lived in Huizen for a year and now drives next to Max Verstappen: 'Stupid if you think you can beat him straight away'

He is Max Verstappen's fifth teammate at Red Bull Racing. And with only eleven Grand Prix to his name, it is not surprising that Liam Lawson (23) tempers expectations. He compares the jump to the Formula 1 top with his move as a teenager from New Zealand to Huizen in North Holland. "Of course I want to beat my teammate. But my teammate is also Max Verstappen."

Liam Lawson predicts before his Red Bull-Debt that Max Verstappen will still be out of reach for his debut. However, he makes it clear: Every Formula 1 driver believes to be the best.
