Liam Lawson’s life turned upside-down in September when he replaced Daniel Ricciardo at VCARB mid-season. Understandably, a couple of his hobbies — specifically, recording music and vlogging on YouTube — have since fallen to the wayside. “Yeah, I’ve gotten just a little bit busy recently,” Lawson told me with a laugh.
Clearly a bit of a romantic, the 22-year-old New Zealander likes to strum and sing, particularly acoustic-y ballads. Lawson spent some time in the recording studio shortly before he was called up to the team full-time. “The guys that I play with are a couple of my really close friends, so we got together the night before to choose the songs [that we wanted to cover], then went into the studio and recorded them,” he said. You might have seen an outtake or two floating around the Internet.
