Liam Lawson expressed his opinion in a podcast about McLaren's origins in New Zealand, bringing glory to the British.
Born in the stunning island nation, Lawson is not the first New Zealand F1 driver, as Denny Hulme was already a world champion for the country. However, it was not them, but the papaya team McLaren that achieved the greatest success, as it was founded by a local, Bruce McLaren, mentioned by name, and competed in these colors for the first time. Yes, but the team is not tied to the country, not to England, where he also traveled a thousand times. This was something Lawson complained about…
"I don't see any point in this. McLaren is a New Zealand team through and through, even in its name. It's a bit like Red Bull Racing, who play the Austrian anthem when they win, even though every single one of their roots is in Anguilla. McLaren is based there, but they're still New Zealanders. It just seems like a bunch of bullshit to a New Zealander, especially since one of the greatest legends, Bruce McLaren, is the father of the whole project," Lawson said in his justified criticism.
