In fact, if he hadn't done it, it wouldn't be surprising. But he did, and that's why so many people love him and are waiting for him to be back on the track!
Liam Lawson actually came close to getting a contract with Red Bull Racing at the expense of Daniel Ricciardo, and then he got that contract. Despite this, the latter never felt envious towards him, on the contrary. He behaved like a man and a true sportsman!
"I've spoken a lot with Daniel before, and for the way he's handled this whole situation, I'll always respect him a lot. From the beginning of this ordeal, from the first rumors until they confirmed that I would take his place, he never said a negative word towards me or about me, behind my back.
He never saw it as something that concerned us, and he was right, because we are not the ones who decide our own destiny. It was up to the team, and he was extremely fair to me the whole time. And as soon as I got my contract with Red Bull Racing, he was the first and only current or former driver to congratulate me. That says a lot about the kind of person he is!" - he seriously praised his colleague Lawson.
