Liam Lawson’s future at Red Bull is already in jeopardy just two races into the 2025 F1 season.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Red Bull are understood to be 168澳洲幸运5官方开𒊎奖结果历史:seriously considering replacing Lawson amid his concerning struggles following a dreadful start 𓆉to the season.

The 23-year-old Kiwi was chosen to replace S♎ergio Perez for 2025 but is yet to score a point for Red Bull, and has been eliminated in Q1 in all three qualifying sessions he has contested.

Following another miserable outing at the Chinese Grand Prix, Lawson𒉰’s future is said to be hanging in the balance.

Red Bull have history of making 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:ruthless driver decisions and aren’t shy to wield the axe, but who would replace Lawson if he were to get the chop?

Yuki Tsunoda

Racing Bulls driver168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Yuki Tsunoda is the clear favourite to replace Lawson.

Reports suggest Red 💞Bull are weighing up an immediate swap of Lawson 𓆏for Tsunoda as soon as the Japanese Grand Prix, the next round of the season.

24-year-ol𒁏d Tsunoda was initially overlooked by Red Bull for a 2025 seat, with the team instead opting to go with his less experienced former teammate Lawson.

Despite Lawson only making 11 grand prix appearanᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚces for Racing Bulls spread over two short spe🎀lls in 2023 and 2024, Red Bull cited the New Zealander’s mental resilience as a key factor in their decision.

Tsunoda has enjoyed a fine start to the season with Re🎶d Bull’s sister team. While outright results do not look great on paper, those have largely been dictated by poor team strategy calls.

The Japanese driver qualified a stunning fifth on the grid at the opening round in Australiaꦓ, eighth for the sprint race in China and ninth for Sunday’s full-length grand prix.

Tsunoda insists he feels 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:“100%” ready to replace the under-pressure Lawson and wou💯ld jump at the oppor🔜tunity to do so from his home race at Suzuka.

Isack Hadjar

While the more experienced Tsunoda looks to be in pole position for a promotion should Red Bull drop Lawson, his Racing Bulls teammate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Isack Hadjar cannot be discounted either.

Hadjar, the 2024 Formula 2 runner-up, has impဣressed inꦿ his first two F1 weekends. He impressively bounced back from his heartbreaking crash in Melbourne to put in a mighty qualifying performance in Shanghai.

The 20-year-old Frenchma♔n claimed a superb seventh on the gr🍎id at the Chinese Grand Prix and outpaced teammate Tsunoda by 0.559s. Although he could not convert a top-10 starting position into points on Sunday, he has still caught the eye at Red Bull.

Speaking about Hadjar’s qualifying display in ꦬChina, Red Bull’s Helmut Marko opened th🙈e door to him being a potential option. 

“Let’s look at thꦏe positives: Isack Hadjar, who has never driven on this track before, is banging out incredible times in 🍸his second race, making no mistakes,” the Red Bull advisor told Sky Germany.

“What he has 🦩shown so far is absolutely fascinating. The sun [Hadjar] and the shadow [Lawson] are close together and we’ll see what happens.”

This would be a risky move for Red Bull and would pile unnecessary pressure on another one of their rising stars. Considering that, Tsunoda surely reprℱesents the most logical option.

What about Franco Colapinto?

In an interesting development, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Franco Colapinto has emerged as a shock contender toꦉ join Racing Bulls in the event Lawson is dropped. 

While a straight swap between Lawson and Tsunoda feels like the most likely outcoꦬme if Red🉐 Bull pull the trigger, they may also choose to take Lawson out of the spotlight altogether by benching him as their reserve driver.

If Red Bull opted to do this, they would need a driver to take the vacated Racing Bulls se🌳at. Step forward current Alpine reserve Colapinto.

Reports in Spanish media have 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:linked Colapinto to Racing Bulls afte🅘r Marko was seen visiting Alpine’s hospital in Shanghai on Sundayไ.

Colapinto is waiting in the wings at Alpine to potentially replace 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Doohan and return to the F1 grid after his starring cameo with Wil🐷liams late last year, 🍸but he could be a candidate for Red Bull to place in their sister team.

Intriguingly, Colapinto's early Williams form in 2024 put the Argentine youngster on Red꧟ Bull's radar befor🍬e a string of crashes saw their interest cool.
