Liam Lawson: Kiwi motorsport star on his F1 debut, confirmation he'll stay in AlphaTauri seat until Ricciardo is ready

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Sundays

Despite AlphaTauri being impressed, Liam Lawson still says there's work to do after his 13th place finish in his Formula 1 race debut.  The 21-year-old got the call up to the Dutch Grand Prix after teammate Daniel Ricciardo broke his hand in practice.  In a statement, AlphaTauri said Ricciardo was on the road to recovery after undergoing surgery on his hand.  “We hope to see him at the track again very soon, but until he is fully fit, we can confirm that Liam, who did a good job in difficult circumstances in Zandvoort, will continue to drive alongside Yuki, starting from our home race this weekend in Monza.”  Lawson is now the tenth Kiwi to race in F1.   Liam joined Mike Hosking for the only New Zealand interview he's doing before Monza.
