Liam Lawson's parents sold home for his racing career

Liam Lawson is a rookie in the 2025 Formula 1 championship. He faced challenges in his first race, getting eliminated in qualifying and crashing on lap 46. Despite this rough start, Lawson has an inspiring backstory. In a recent interview with GQ, Lawson shared how much his parents sacrificed for his racing career. His parents, Jared and Kirsty, sold their family home to support him. Lawson said, "They still don't own a house because of me." He expressed gratitude for the support from his family and friends who wanted to see him succeed as a driver from New Zealand. Lawson explained that racing is expensive and requires significant financial investment. He recalled complaining to his father about his kart's performance. Eventually, his dad bought better engines, which helped Lawson qualify first in a big race. This moment marked a turning point in his racing journey. Reflecting on his childhood in Clarks Beach, Lawson remembered spending time outdoors. In his personal life, he is dating Hannah St. John, an influencer and biomedical sciences graduate. They often share photos from concerts and romantic outings. Recently, Lawson mentioned his interest in American football, joking about being a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs.
