168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson has revealed he got a telling off from his father for flipping the bird at F1 rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez at the Mexico City Grand Prix.

RB driver Lawson, then in just his second race since replacing168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Daniel Ricciardo, damaged Perez’s Red Bull in a clash at Turn 4 durꦅing the recent race.

Pe꧃rez branded Lawson an “idiot” over team radio and later claimed the New Zealander doesn’t ha🌌ve the right attitude for F1.

Lawson was seen giving a middle finger gesture to Perez later in the race,🅷 something which did not impress Red Bull motorsp🌜ort advisor Helmut Marko, or Lawson’s parents.

“It’s n♌ot something I should have done,” Lawson told TFN.

“It’s something I’ll learn from but at the same time we are ☂competing at a high level and when you have that much adrenaline, it’s crazy.

“If 🌼I think back over the years to things I’ve thought about or sa🔥id after a race, especially when I was younger, then you calm down and you realise how crazy that was and how stupid it was.

“It was something I learnt from but obviously when you are🦹 in F1 the spotlight is on you and maybe I didn’t realise how much people can see. You’ve got to be careful.”

Asked what his parents made of it, Lawson admitted: “They weren’t impresseꦏd.

“[I’m] very fortunate꧒ to have someone like my dad who has played a massive role in, obviously, raising me as a man, but also as a driver, growing up and trying to be professional in the sport.

“He’s kept me very grounded, I would say, and that’s been something that he’s done since I was a kid༺. So, you know, he wasn’t impressed with that and ♍I completely understand why. And obviously, as I said, it’s not something I should have done, and I’ll learn from [it].”

Lawꦯson added: “My dad told me off, as my dad has done many times over the years.”
