Despite AlphaTauri being impressed, Liam Lawson still says there's work to do after his 13th place finish in his Formula 1 race debut.\xa0

The 21-year-old got the call up to the Dutch Grand Prix after teammate Daniel Ricciardo broke his hand in practice.\xa0

In a statement, AlphaTauri said Ricciardo was on the road to recovery after undergoing surgery on his hand.\xa0

\u201cWe hope to see him at the track again very soon, but until he is fully fit, we can confirm that Liam, who did a good job in difficult circumstances in Zandvoort, will continue to drive alongside Yuki, starting from our home race this weekend in Monza.\u201d\xa0

Lawson is now the tenth Kiwi to race in F1. \xa0

Liam joined Mike Hosking for the only New Zealand interview he's doing before Monza.
