Liam Lawson climbed through the junior ranks with a reputation for toughness, versatility and an ability to adapt quickly, whether he was racing at home, in Europe, Australia or just about anywhere else someone handed him a steering wheel.
For Aussie fans, Lawson feels a little bit like an adopted local.
Growing up across the Tasman means the Formula 1® Australian Grand Prix is about as close as he gets to a home race, and there's always a strong contingent of Kiwi supporters making the annual pilgrimage to Albert Park in support of their man.
It goes without saying that as Lawson edges closer to one day becoming a Formula 1® World Champion, there's every chance Australia will begin claiming him as one of their own. New Zealand, you have been warned.
What makes Lawson particularly exciting to watch is that he is not afraid of a wheel-to-wheel battle, a bold overtake or the occasional bit of elbows-out racing when the situation demands it. At the same time, he carries himself with a level-headedness that has become a hallmark of New Zealand's motorsport exports.
Still early in his Formula 1® journey, Liam Lawson represents the next generation of talent from New Zealand: fast, fearless and determined to make his mark on the sport's biggest stage.
