However, if he hadn't done it, we really wouldn't be surprised. But he did, and that's precisely why so many people love him and are waiting for him to return to the circuit!
Liam Lawson did indeed have the opportunity to sign with Red Bull Racing at the expense of Daniel Ricciardo, and then he won the contract. However, the latter wasn't jealous of him at all, quite the opposite. He behaved like a man and a true athlete!
"I've talked to Daniel a lot before, and I've always had a lot of respect for the way he handled the whole situation. From the beginning of the race, from the first rumors until it was confirmed that I was taking his place, he never said a bad word about me, nor behind my back.
He never took it personally, and he was right, because we don't decide our own destiny. It depended on the team, and he was always extremely polite to me. And as soon as my contract with Red Bull Racing was signed, he was the first and only one among the current or former drivers to congratulate me. That says a lot about the person he is!" - praised his colleague Lawson very seriously.
