    Inside axed F1 star Liam Lawson’s glamorous life with stunning model Wag as he’s set to be brutally replaced by Red Bull

    LIAM LAWSON has had nothing short of a nightmare start to life at Red Bull this year.After a strong debut replacing Daniel Ricciardo at VCARB in 2023 and then again in 2024, the 23-year-old started out his first race with the team by failing to finish the Australian Grand Prix.

I’ve raced him for years, raced him in the junior categories and beat him.”If I look back over our career, I was team-mates with him in F3 and I beat him. In Euro Formula, I was team-mates with him in New Zealand, and I beat him there.”And then in F1 last season, I think honestly, if I look at all the times he got promoted instead of me in those early years, then no. He’s had his time. Now it’s my time.”Despite Lawson’s claim, he was out-qualified by Tsunoda 7-2 when the pair were team-mates during the closing stages of last season. It was also 4-2 in the Japanese driver’s favour for the five races Lawson subbed in for Ricciardo during the 2023 season.The driver swap decision has reportedly left main man Verstappen frustrated, with the four-time world champion having previously sang Lawson’s praises.READ MORE SUN STORIESHe said: “That Racing Bulls car is easier to drive than ours. I notice that when I talk to Liam. Last year the difference between him and Yuki wasn’t that big, I thought.”Otherwise the team wouldn’t have made the choice to put Liam in at Red Bull.” More
