Liam Lawson has swapped his racing suit for a polo shirt during a Christmas stop in New Zealand at one of the country’s top golf courses.
The newlypromoted Red Bull Formula One driver was confirmed to replace Sergio Perez to partner world champion Max Verstappen for next season.
Pictured at the exclusive Te Arai Links course north of Auckland on Tuesday, the 22-year-old posed with his girlfriend Hannah St John and billionaire Nick Mowbray, founder of the Zuru toy company.
Lawson’s return to New Zealand may be short-lived, with the new Formula One season set to begin in March and the pressure on him to help lead Red Bull with Verstappen to the top of the constructor’s standings after the team fell to third this year.
