Away from racing, Lawson is known for his relatively reserved but friendly personality, straightforward attitude, and dry sense of humor. He generally does not seek excessive attention and can come across as quiet or serious when meeting people for the first time. Once he becomes comfortable, however, he is much more relaxed and playful, often joking around or teasing friends. His humor tends to be subtle and sarcastic rather than overly exaggerated, and he is comfortable laughing at himself.
