Yuki Tsunoda set to replace Liam Lawson at Red Bull – report

Red Bull has allegedly made the decision to swap Yuki Tsunoda and Liam Lawson ahead of the Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix, according to reports.
Lawson was chosen ahead of Tsunoda to contest the 2025 season with Red Bull, but has so far had a torrid start to life with the Milton Keynes-based squad.
A Q1 exit and DNF at the Australian season-opener was followed by Lawson finishing last in qualifying in Shanghai last weekend en route to another scoreless result.
Speculation pointed towards Red Bull making the ruthless decision to axe Lawson, who admitted to not having much time to turn his troubles in the RB21 around.
