THE There is a renewal on the grid, since several new generation drivers are arriving on the grid, some even dream of positioning themselves in the best teams. one of them is Liam Lawsonwho replaced Daniel Ricciardo of the 2024 United States Grand Prix and, although he is yet to secure his midfield for next year, it appears he will either continue at Faenza or be promoted to Milton Keynes.
Being so young means he has modern heroes, and although he has great affection for those who risk their lives on the field, he has the distinction that his idol is fictional. He is the protagonist of the famous saga of 'cars', a Disney film released in 2006 and which captivated all the children of the New Zealand generation.
SO, Lightning McQueen is the character that Liam Lawson noticedwith his characteristic number 95 and the color red, and he was asked about it in a curious interview with the own Formula 1. By the time it was put on the table what his character would be, what personality he would have and what he would look like, he had it very clear.
“Personality-wise, I think I'd like him to represent me. If I were to create a character, it would have a lot of my personality. It would have to be cool, a cool car, not a boring car,” he said. explained the New Zealander. “Obviously I should be fast and run. I should be like Lightning [McQueen] and I should be in the Piston Cup, I should win the Piston Cup! Also with the number 30”.
The Piston Cup concerns the competition in which Lightning McQueenalongside other big names from the fictional world of automobiles like Chick Hicks or Strip Weathersbetter known as 'The king', tries to win, with tests very similar to those of the and from which the film is inspired because it is in ovals, although only in the first part.
In addition to this, he indicated that the only objective he would have if he were a fictional character, and that is “to be fast”, before surprising with the number of times you enjoyed the original movie when you were little: “Ah, so many times. Honestly, I would say that when I was very young, I saw her every other day, really, it was something that I did sometimes every day, or maybe I I had two days off, but I saw him a lot, I would say I saw him hundreds of times.
