Formula 1 driver Liam Lawson joins us for Chapter 385 of Gypsy Tales. As he prepares to compete in the 2026 Formula 1 season with Visa Cash App Racing Bulls, Liam shares the journey that led him to one of the most competitive seats in motorsport. From growing up in New Zealand to earning his opportunity behind the wheel of a Red Bull Formula 1 car, we dive into the defining moments that shaped his career and the mindset required to perform at the highest level of the sport.
