Did Liam Lawson lose out on his chance at Red Bull Racing in just two races?
According to multiple reports, Yuki Tsunoda will replace Lawson as Red Bull’s second driver at the Japanese Grand Prix. Lawson will swap spots with Tsunoda and move back to the Racing Bulls team alongside Isack Hadjar while Tsunoda teams with four-time world champion Max Verstappen.
It’s an abrupt switch for Red Bull after Lawson had a horribly disappointing start to his first full Formula 1 season. Lawson failed to get out of the first qualifying session and crashed out of the Australian Grand Prix and qualified last for both the sprint race and Grand Prix in China before finishing 15th.
