F1 STAR DELIVERS UNFORGETTABLE MARRIAGE PROPOSAL DURING CHARITY EVENT IN NEW ZEALAND

In a heartwarming twist that has taken the motorsport world by storm, Formula 1 sensation Liam Lawson executed an extraordinary surprise marriage proposal that left fans and onlookers in awe. The Kiwi driver, fresh off a tumultuous 2025 season, returned to his roots in New Zealand during the winter break. Little did he know, he would be part of a magical moment that would resonate far beyond the racetrack.

While enjoying his downtime at a charity event in Cromwell, Lawson took part in a noble cause, raising funds for breast cancer research. The event, organized by Highlands Motorsport Park’s chief executive Josie Spillane, was dedicated to her late friend Louise Scott-Gallagher, who tragically lost her battle with breast cancer. Lawson, known for his thrilling hot laps around the Central Otago circuit in jaw-dropping sportscars like the Aston Martin Vulcan, helped raise over $50,000 NZD (£21,407) for this worthy cause.

However, the highlight of the day was not just the fundraising; it was the unexpected moment that unfolded for motorsport enthusiasts Jayden Butler and Zoe Kenny. Butler chose the picturesque Highlands circuit, nestled in Kenny’s hometown, as the backdrop for his proposal, and with the help of the dedicated staff, he made it an event to remember.

In a twist of fate, Lawson arrived on the scene, champagne in hand—a bottle of Central Otago’s exquisite Quartz Reef sparkling wine—and congratulated the ecstatic couple. Highlands Motorsport Park’s social media account captured the magic, posting, “Not every day you say ‘yes’…and then get surprised by an F1 driver!” The post humorously noted the surprise factor, stating, “Still not sure if Zoe was more shocked by the ring or Liam turning up with a bottle of bubbles.”

Butler expressed his heartfelt gratitude in a comment, stating, “Thank you guys for making the experience so memorable. It was amazing that you could organize for Liam to be involved; we are big fans of F1, so we are incredibly grateful! It was an amazing time all around and the staff were incredible to work with!” His joy was palpable, and he shared that having Lawson there made the moment even more special.

Reflecting on the experience, Butler remarked on Lawson’s friendly demeanor, saying, “I wasn’t too worried. If it was just some random bloke I would be.” Kenny echoed the sentiment, adding, “He was a really good guy. Really down to earth.” The couple immortalized the day with a keepsake photo featuring a signed Racing Bulls cap, two model cars, the bottle of wine, and a framed picture of their special moment with Lawson.

This delightful story blends the thrill of motorsports with the joy of love, showcasing how even the fastest drivers can take a moment to celebrate life’s most significant milestones. As fans eagerly await the next racing season, one thing is clear: Liam Lawson is not just a star on the track, but also a champion of unforgettable moments off it.
