We celebrate Max’s 4th Driver’s Championship victory in a row; plus we look at Max’s highlights of the 2024 race season, including smashing through the field at a very wet Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

We're at the Oracle Red Bull Racing technology campus in Milton Keynes, and speaking to the team’s new driver for 2025… Liam Lawson.
Liam has been part of the Oracle Red Bull Racing Junior team since 2019 and he talks about his excitement about being announced as the new driver for Oracle Red Bull Racing, and how it feels to be part of a team with such legacy and success. He runs us through his hopes and dreams for next season on the track as he will be teammates with 4-time world champion, Max Verstappen.
He talks about his pride of representing New Zealand, how he’d love to be in a remake of ‘Cars’ and he gives Oracle Red Bull Racing fans some hints about what to expect from him.

Joining Nic in the Talking Bull studio are Heritage team manager Tony Burrows, No. 1 Mechanic Mark “Crunch” Lenton, and No.2 Mechanic Thibaut Conand to answer questions like “who thinks of all these stunts” and “has a stunt ever come close to going seriously wrong?” (spoiler: no it hasn’t!).
The team also reflect on their relationship with the main racing team, from Crunch’s memories of being on lollipop duty as a pit crew member, to how the team share knowledge and skills today so that everyone can get the best performance out of the cars.
