Overview

• Liam Lawson was demoted from Red Bull Racing to Racing Bulls after two races, replaced by Yuki Tsunoda, who will remain at Red Bull for the rest of the season.
• Lawson has yet to score points in four races with Racing Bulls but has shown flashes of pace as he adapts to the car’s easier drivability and tyre management.
• Racing Bulls CEO Peter Bayer noted Lawson initially appeared dejected upon his return but has since regained his motivation and humor, becoming 'the old Liam' again.
• Lawson insists his confidence remains intact despite his brief and challenging stint at Red Bull Racing, attributing his struggles to car-specific factors rather than personal performance.
• The Red Bull Racing RB21 car, engineered around Max Verstappen’s driving style, has a narrow performance window, making it difficult for other drivers to adapt.
