A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
Liam Lawson recently accused a dubious situation at Red Bull Racing being used as grounds to demote him. After the Hungarian Grand Prix, chief advisor to the Austrians, Helmut Marko, skimped past the New Zealander. A telling sign of what's to come?
Hungary was a rather painful race for Red Bull Racing with Max Verstappen finishing P9 and Yuki Tsunoda in P17, after what was undoubtedly the most difficult race weekend for the now Laurent Mekies-led outfit, in years.
On the sister team's side of things, it did not look half bad. Isack Hadjar managed to finish two places behind Verstappen, in P11, just one position shy of the points-scoring slots.

But Liam Lawson turned out to be the highest points earner for the entirety of the Racing Bull's family with a total haul of 4 units derived from a P8 finish at the flag.
When the New Zealander's result was brought to Marko's attention, he spared no words for the former Red Bull driver. His attention switched to whom it is rumoured will be Yuki Tsunoda's replacement after the end of the present season.
A good result for Lawson in Hungary? "Also, (Isack, ed.), Hadjar," the Austrian said.
"I think he (Hadjar, ed.), was unlucky in the race," Marko added, before highlighting the speed present in both Racing Bulls machines.
"Hadjar finished 11th and he lost out when the leaders overtook him. So they (Racing Bull's, ed.), had a very good performance," concluded Marko, not once complimenting Lawson's individual efforts.
