Kiwi Motorsport Legend Scott Dixon Shows Support for Liam Lawson After Red Bull F1 Setback
IndyCar icon Scott Dixon has voiced his support for fellow New Zealander Liam Lawson following the young driver’s recent demotion by Red Bull Racing. Lawson shared an emotional message on Instagram, reflecting on his lifelong dream of being a Red Bull driver.
Dixon, a six-time IndyCar champion, responded to Lawson’s post with a simple but powerful message of encouragement: “Let’s go bro! đȘđ»”
Lawson’s demotion comes after just two race weekends with the team, where he struggled to make an impact. While some fans celebrated Yuki Tsunoda’s promotion, others criticized Red Bull’s decision as being harsh on Lawson.
Dixon’s Earlier Prediction Turns Sour
Dixon, who has followed Lawson’s career since meeting him at a young age, had previously expressed optimism about Lawson’s situation at Red Bull. He suggested that the car’s performance might alleviate some of the pressure on the young driver. However, Lawson’s time with the team was cut short, proving Dixon’s prediction wrong.
Despite the setback, Lawson has received widespread support from the racing community, including Dixon, who continues his pursuit of another IndyCar championship in his 25th season.
