Liam Lawson earned high praise from Red Bull ambassador Calum Nicholas for his "absolutely brilliant" adaptation after stepping into the Milton Keynes outfit at the Dutch Grand Prix. The New Zealander was unexpectedly called up to replace Isack Hadjar, who withdrew from the final Formula 1 event at Zandvoort due to a wrist injury.
Lawson’s debut came with little preparation, yet he delivered a strong performance in the race. Nicholas highlighted the driver’s rapid adjustment as a standout moment, underscoring Lawson’s readiness for the challenge.
The call-up marks a critical test for Lawson’s future with Red Bull, following his recent performances in the RB seat. His showing at Zandvoort could influence the team’s decision-making ahead of the next race.
