Lawson’s love of music is well known, with various social media clips highlighting this in both his youth and the present day.

Until now, however, F1 and music have been kept largely separate for the Racing Bulls driver, whose F1 2027 seat remains up in the air with F2 driver Nikola Tsolov waiting in the wings.

Lawson will take to the stage during the latest Racing Bulls’ Garage Sessions event on Thursday at Inn Cahoots in Austin.

The New Zealander will showcase a custom LL30 GS Mini Special Edition Taylor guitar. Coloured pink and white, his racing number and a cartoon found on his helmet feature on the design.

“I feel very proud to be launching my partnership with Taylor Guitars at Garage Sessions,” said Lawson.

“Playing the guitar has been a big part of my life since I was young, as my Dad played in a band throughout my childhood.

“He encouraged my brother and I to play since we were six years old, so it feels like a full circle moment to be launching a custom LL30 GS Mini SE while performing with my brother and two friends who I grew up playing with.

“Music is a big part of my life, and I use it to clear my head during the season, so I’m really excited to perform at Garage Sessions where we can connect with fans outside of the track. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone there.”
