Liam Lawson is creating a furore in Formula 1 at the moment. In Singapore, the New Zealander managed to score his first points in the king class of motorsport. In a video showing teammate Yuki Tsunoda cooking for Lawson, the latter talks about his work alongside racing.

When Tsunoda asks, Lawson talks about the modelling work he does alongside the track for Italian team AlphaTauri: "It's extremely, extremely uncomfortable," he says in a video on Formula 1's YouTube channel. "And they always say, 'Oh, this can't be as hard as driving a car', but it's harder. Driving a car is so simple," the AlphaTauri driver continued.

Lawson is currently the replacement for the injured Daniel Ricciardo. The Australian was injured during the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort. Ricciardo was previously the replacement for Dutchman Nyck de Vries, who was sacked from AlphaTauri. Meanwhile, De Vries has already found a new employer, with that being Mahindra Racing in Formula E.
