gotta love when drivers actual sound like real people, specially nowadays. i also like that he embraces the villain role instead of crying about it, i hope he performs well enough
Seems like a cool guy, hope he has a great season, his battles with Perez on track and on the radio probably got him that seat. Refreshing interview style from these two guys bringing some fun to the sport.
For anyone who loved this I highly recommend finding Liam's youtube and watching his VLOGs, he's as genuine as you see here as well. So hyped to see him racing
ive really mostly heard *about* liam and how he is taking a seat from Yuki, its nice to hear a little *from* liam and his experience with things. Its not his fault that the higher ups want to bet on him and not Yuki, however i feel about that decision its not like he should refuse the seat, why would he. Im exited to se how he does, and i very much hope this is not the begining of the end for my little guy Yuki edit* oh shit theres a hat on the line?! yo i always belived in my guy Liam, well done man keep it up cheering 4 u
Yuki is in red bull only becauses of Honda i asume. First two years where rough also for him, radio and crashes etc. Liam is younger, is intresting to watch actually when he drives. Somewhat similar to Max
@@liampitout5483 Not easy being fair 😂 as soon as it hit me that most of these newer dudes are younger than me it became way harder to hate on them for relatively minor things like I've loved doing earlier in my fandom. Hating on Perez or Ocon feels less mean for some reason
He’s quick-witted, charismatic and smiley. Eats up PR & promotion - a marketer’s dream. I reckon that played in his favour for the selection process. Also, he seems to be a pretty good racing driver!
I’m a Piastri fan through and through, but as the only representative of my country, a genuine person and someone with a good personality, I’ll be undeniably rooting for Lawson
Surely marketability and how a driver handles the media is also a consideration when teams pick a driver for the seat and after seeing this interview you'd think Liam ticks that box ✅
I've been following Liam's journey very closely for many years. I shared his dream and I am so happy for him. Watch him shine next year!! Letz go Liam!!
Before I watched this I was bummed Yuki didnt get a go. But Liam seems like a good guy, and he can actually talk! and is quit funny, good personality. Probably was the better choice. Yuki just made honda happy
I love the fact you boys only really got into F1 in 2021 and you’re having a RBR driver as a guest on the show. Best kind of motivation to do something content wise in F1 (edit: I thought you guys had interviewed Lawson before)
Great ep boys, I'm Australian and didn't really enjoy the Islander taking my man's seat... But after the episode.... He's a pretty good guy aye!, Goodluck next season Liam
The old Aussie had a crack (two cracks actually) but a million dollar smile doesn’t actually make for a winning drive! Time for the Kiwi to step in and get it done for the Pacific!
Wasnt very excited about so many new drivers next season, but after watching this video i changed my mine, at least about Liam, he seems like a down to earth guy
I love how this guy just got one of the most difficult F1 seats currently available but appears to be coping quite well with the upcoming pressure on him. The Lad's just chilling wearing Lightning McQueen Crocs😂
I had to SUBSCRIBE after that!! Thanks guys, as a Kiwi, I certainly do support Liam... and as a 70+ gent, I enjoyed the banter and the enthusiasm you guys shared with Liam. Well done!
Its always great to see a driver make it to the top when they come from humble beginnings! I really hope he does well and the pressure of RB doesnt break hime
@@marcelnasenbar1910 Chris Amon had 11 podium finishes in his career and was unparalleled as a test driver. He gave a huge amount to the sport in developing racing cars
Interesting that Horner says while Yuki's qualifying times were only margially better than Lawson- Lawson's race pace was better. Perhaps those claiming Yuki 'destroyed ' Lawson should pay attention. Yuki has had several seasons to develop- Lawson was on his pace from Day One.
@@maaduece5132 That's his race engineer of course he'd hype him up. Fact was Yuki out qualified him and is the best driver at the moment. Liam is worst than both Gasly and Albon who Red Bull both got rid of. It's not going to end well for him especially how disrespectful he is and already making enemies with other drivers.
I WANT THAT HAT BAD! shout out from NZ, great podcast boys, almost got teary eyed from how excited not only Liam was but you guys interviewing him too.
yuki tsunoda has been a redbull HONDA driver since 2020. Liam was in the academy since 18. now i see why they chose him, Yuki was a pay driver from Honda Japan
Who cares when majority of the drivers are from rich families and can only stay or get in with a certain amount of skill? VCarb/RedBull forced Yuki to stay with the contract option when other teams wanted him. It's would've been way more fun watching Yuki beat Red Bull in another car instead of having to wait for 2026 if Honda can get him a seat at Aston Martin.
I have a feeling some of them were taped before the official announcement - these media people would probably have to sign NDAs or something. Didn't stop the rumors of Liam getting the seat being out though 🤭
9:14 Whoever talk down to Red bull. Even lando norris mentioned this aswell. You are GIVEN the car, and the driver has to adapt and you will see who can get most out of the car. Crazy how lots of people dont get this.
I’m so proud of him 🎉as a kiwi its so good to see a kiwi driving in f1 again,it’s not easy getting the finances coming from a small country of only 5 million, so to be able to hang with the big boys so to speak is such a blessing and privilege not just for Liam and his family but for all New Zealanders, we always love to support our country and we have always provided great driver’s yet could not always afford to get them where they needed to be unlike bigger countries so this is so special and exciting to us 🎉All NZ is behind Liam
Yooo.. I was stressed for him ahaha.. Just signed the contract.. you can't mess up ahaha.. I'm so happy for Liam.. such a down on earth guy.. so excited to see what will happen. I think he has the right mindset for that car..
It's such a breath of fresh air when drivers from Nz give interviews seem just like the neighbour next door when they speak. No Bs and say it as it is. Congrats Liam. All the best next season.
Redbull will have officially the most BADASS teammates on the grid. Can F1 handle both max and lawson?! F1 hasnt seen such badass teammates since montoya and kimi in 2005
So happy for him. That must be such a great feeling. I have high hopes for him. I hope he can deal with the pressure from Max, all th eother drivers before Checo couldnt handle it
I think with his personality he will interact with Max just fine. But I believe Max precious anyone but himself really. Liam’s comment that he believed George would drop the issue for at least the dinner, implies that he has the ability to deal with difficult situations and if he had a situation with Max like that, he would’ve gone along or been able to have some witty comeback. Unlike George. George’s response just added to the drama.
Amazing job Liam, so excited to see you fully on the grid next year, and with red bull!!!! Lots of love from your home in New Zealand, I can’t wait to get up at 1am to watch you race! Best of luck ❤
Congrats Liam for being promoted to RB seat next to M4X. Btw i watched Liam's first win debut in Super Formula and i was like " Damn this kid will be in F1 driver soon " a few months later Richardo broke his left wrist and Liam replaced him that weekend in Zandvoort. Barely no practice and a rainy day and the guy delivered like a champ!
Well done Liam, so happy here in New Zealand, F1 has become even more popular now you have a seat. I hope you give the rest of the field a taste of Kiwi exhaust fumes 🍻
The crocs!!!! Genuinely shocked he didn’t own them already LOL so good to see Liam getting the attention he deserves. His junior career was extensive and successful and he brings SO MUCH to the table.
Liam is such a likeable guy. It's a shame he's been caught in the crossfire of Red Bull's shenanigans - I hope people can direct their frustrations at the team management instead of him.
Been following Liam since 21 now, what a journey it’s been and so happy for him. Really disappointed to see a lot of unnecessary hate he’s been receiving online for a decision outside of his control but I suppose that’s the social media affect. Best of luck next season mate.
I like this guy, I think he’ll be a nice character in the paddock, very polite, I hope to see him for long time in F1 also cause I think he’s really quick!
That Max said to George, We've saved a seat for you: priceless.
I mean its so what you would expect of him a small provocations just to get him
Dude is such a meme and it's all good.
Aren't they feuding right now? Oh it's a joke? Good one 😅😅😅😅
For everything else, there's Valtteri's credit card.
Max is a very down to earth dude, dutch love to joke and dont really care for feuds
gotta love when drivers actual sound like real people, specially nowadays. i also like that he embraces the villain role instead of crying about it, i hope he performs well enough
Well said mate. Great to see a Kiwi out there representing the attitude we all hold. Fierce under dogs that won’t go down without a scrap.
Thank you, everyone hates on this dude, like he’s so much more personable and just real, this is the F1 I’m behind! A real professional sportsman
Seems like a cool guy, hope he has a great season, his battles with Perez on track and on the radio probably got him that seat. Refreshing interview style from these two guys bringing some fun to the sport.
I really hope RedBull doesnt break him. He is such a genuine and fun character. I want to see him in F1 for a long time.
Nah his driving speaks! He got this 🔥
oh red bull's breaking him. it's a matter of when
Yeah, except it only broke kyvat, gasly, albon, danny ric, perez...
@@Ory_x Red Bull didn't break Daniel Ricciardo. He was broken at McLaren and got a second chance at VCARB. Granted, they did do very poor on his exit.
That is exactly why they chose him.
Fuck me, props on keeping this quiet.
"Were professionals we're meant to be able to drive what we're given" YES!
New Zealanders are referred to as kiwis which is our national bird and happens to be flightless, only makes sense for redbull to give him his wings! 😂
They are also called the All Blacks but the Springboks are better.

Lawson with 95 wouldbe absolute cinema
I was fully expecting him to adopt 95
honestly disappointed no one so far has taken 95 or 69...lost opportunities really
Such a cool interview ,Liam’s definitely competitive even on the sim ,was stoked he got the fastest lap

Okay. This made me feel a lot better about Yuki losing out. At least Liam is going to savour every possible millisecond
Surely marketability and how a driver handles the media is also a consideration when teams pick a driver for the seat and after seeing this interview you'd think Liam ticks that box ✅
Red Bull uses a Honda making Yuki invaluable.

@@EastSide_Motel yes, good point.
Being a kiwi, following F1, I usually follow the ‘NZ’ team McLaren, but will be cheering for Liam now.
Same here, thrilled to have a New Zealander in F1!
Don't forget how Red Bull, especially Marko, treated kiwi Brendan Hartley.
big ups. 2am here in new zealand but we keeping tabs on all the interviews
Very likeable guy, excited to see what he can do next year. As an Australian, I'm super happy to have a Kiwi in the line up
Thought u trying to claim him at first lol
I've been following Liam's journey very closely for many years. I shared his dream and I am so happy for him. Watch him shine next year!! Letz go Liam!!
What he said about the Red Bull car is quite telling. It's made for geniuses like Max.

Lawson is being humble that his debut wins is random. That's an insane ability to adapt to a new car/track/team etc.
