Background

In 2015 Lawson graduated to single seaters, taking part in the Formula First Manfield Winter Series in his native New Zealand, finishing as runner-up. That earned him a drive in the full New Zealand Formula First Championship for 2015/16, with the Kiwi going on to claim sixth overall.

Young Charger: 2016 - 2017
For 2016 Lawson would remain in New Zealand, entering the NF F1600 Championship, with a dominant run seeing him claim fourteen wins from fifteen races to become the youngest ever winner of a Formula Ford championship. In 2017 Lawson moved across to Australia to compete in Formula 4, finishing second, as well as making several appearances in Formula Vee. With that, Lawson secured enough funding to move to Europe for 2018, although he would open that season with a brief run in the F3 Asian Championship.

European Horizons: 2018 - 2020
Claiming two wins in his three Asian F3 appearances, Lawson went on to claim second behind Lirim Zendeli in the ADAC Formula 4 Championship with three wins. His 2019 season would open with an impressive run to the title in the Toyota Racing Series in his native New Zealand, which earned him the attention and backing of Red Bull, who signed him to the Red Bull Junior Team.

2020 saw Lawson just fall shy of defending his TRS crown, finishing second to Igor Fraga, before a move to Hitech Grand Prix for his sophomore season of FIA F3.
