Liam Lawson, the young F1 driver, will be making his debut this season. Currently, he is filling the spot as a stand-in driver for Alpha Tauri in the absence of Daniel Ricardo. The young driver who will be partnering with Yuki Tsunado recently shared a heartwarming story and his childhood connection with this weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix.

This place holds a special significance for the New Zealand driver, who fondly recalls his father’s annual promise to attend the Singapore Grand Prix together. It’s a cherished tradition that embodies their deep bond and passion for motorsport. The young Kiwi noted to GPblog, “My dad used to promise me every year that he would take me to the Singapore Grand Prix, and in the end, we never went.” While that wish has taken its sweet to get fulfilled, it is pretty evident that the driver shares a loving relationship with his folks. In fact, his parents, Jared Lawson and Kristy Lawson, have been monumental figures when it comes to supporting their son’s F1 ambitions.
