Liam Lawson opens up on toxic F1 social media after online abuse

Liam Lawson has opened up about the somewhat toxic reality of modern Formula 1 fandom, revealing he was forced to completely mute all F1-related social media accounts after being targeted with horrific online abuse.

The New Zealander replaced Daniel Ricciardo at Racing Bulls following the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix.
