Lawson shows promise at Japan F1

From Morning Report, 6:15 am on 25 September 2023

New Zealand's Liam Lawson is being called a 'future talent' for Formula 1 motor racing despite beating his teammate Yuki Tsunoda in consecutive races.

Lawson placed 11th in Sunday night's race at Suzuka in Japan, ahead of Tsunoda in 12th.

Neither were awarded any points. It follows Alpha Tauri and Red Bull confirming Lawson would not be awarded a full-time F1 contract next year, instead remaining as a reserve driver.
