Liam Lawson was one of the most prodigious talents to make his way through the Red Bull Junior Team driver development program, winning on his debut in every category he's raced: Formula First, Formula Ford, Formula Four, Formula Three Asia and the Toyota Racing Series, which he won overall in 2019 – that's an impressive list of achievements for someone who hadn't even turned 17!

Liam's breakthrough came in the 2016-17 season, when he won the NZ F1600 Championship Series. Fast forward to 2020 and he'd scored his first big junior victory at the European Formula Three Championship in Austria, followed by a podium at the Bristish Grand Prix and a win at the final race of the season in Mugello, Italy.
