Overview

  • Liam Lawson was replaced by Yuki Tsunoda at Red Bull Racing after two races, where he failed to score points and trailed Max Verstappen by eight-tenths per lap.
  • Christian Horner cited a 'duty of care' in the decision, emphasizing Lawson's limited preparation time with the RB21 car and technical challenges like water pressure and turbocharger issues.
  • Racing Bulls CEO Peter Bayer observed that Lawson initially appeared 'a bit sad' upon his return but quickly regained his humor and competitive spirit.
  • Lawson maintains that his confidence was unaffected by the demotion, attributing early struggles to external factors and limited car familiarity rather than a decline in self-belief.
  • Racing Bulls is working to refine car setups and strategies after early-season risks, with Lawson showing flashes of pace as he adapts to the team’s 2025 campaign.
