And yet, if he hadn't done it, it wouldn't really be surprising. But he did, and that's exactly why so many of us love him and look forward to him back in the field!
Liam Lawson came close to a contract with Red Bull Racing at the expense of Daniel Ricciardo, and then won it. Despite this, the latter was absolutely not jealous of him, in fact. He behaved like a man and a true sportsman!
"I've spoken to Daniel a lot before, and the way he handled this, I will always have the utmost respect for him. From the beginning of this whole ordeal, from the first rumors to the confirmation that I was going to be his replacement, he never said a bad word to me or about me behind my back.
"He never took it as if it was about us, and he was right about that, because we don't decide our fate. It was about the team, and he was extremely fair to me the whole time. And when I got the Red Bull Racing contract, he was the first and only current or former driver to congratulate me. That says a lot about the kind of person he is!" - Lawson praised his colleague very seriously.
