Yuki Tsunoda to replace Lawson at Red Bull from Japanese GP

New Delhi: After the struggling start of the Formula 1 season, Red Bull have confirmed that Yuki Tsunoda will replace Liam Lawson from the Japanese Grand Prix onwards. Lawson endured a difficult run in the opening two races of the season in Melbourne and Shanghai. He faced DNF in the season opener before finishing 12th in the Chinese Grand Prix last weekend following the disqualifications of Charles Leclerc, Lewis Hamilton and Pierre Gasly. The pressure was mounting on Red Bull to extract the full potential of their second car to aid reigning world champion Max Verstappen in the team standings.

Lawson raced alongside Tsunoda in the latter stages of 2024 after replacing Daniel Ricciardo at the then-named RB team, and his performances were enough to earn him a promotion to Red Bull as Verstappen’s new teammate in 2025 following the exit of Sergio Perez. IANS
