Red Bull driver reveals plans to LIVE with rival star

Newly promoted Formula 1 star Liam Lawson has opened up on a situation which sounds like a fly-on-the-wall reality TV show waiting to happen.

The New Zealander came in to VCARB mid-season in 2024 to replace Daniel Ricciardo, before being bumped up to the senior Red Bull team this off-season.

Lawson was announced as the Mexican driver’s replacement ahead of VCARB team-mate Yuki Tsunoda, despite the 24-year-old’s experience and strong results in 2024.

The Japanese star will be joined by Isack Hadjar this year, who will make his F1 debut after placing second in last season’s F2 championship.

Lawson reveals bizarre house plans

Albon currently drives for Williams after leaving the Red Bull family, but Lawson remains close with the 28-year-old, and has revealed that the pair have even considered moving in together.

Lawson, who lived in Germany during his time in the DTM series, revealed that Albon once said it would be a dream for him to have a house with the Red Bull star at the Nürburgring, so that they could always drive on the Nordschleife.

“We talked about it a few years ago and I want to keep the idea going. It's a really cool place,” Lawson said to Auto Motor und Sport.

“We used to go there regularly when we were both racing in the DTM. Then we went to the Nordschleife in road cars.

“We had a simple VW Golf and a Citroën C3 and stayed in touch via Bluetooth and WhatsApp calls.

“We overtook a BMW M2 and all the other sporty cars. To be honest, it was really one of the funniest things I've ever done in a car.”
