Yuki Tsunoda delivers “weird” verdict on Liam Lawson to Red Bull speculation
“If they choose Liam, that would be weird.”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda thinks it would be “weird” if he was overlooked by Red Bull should they look to replace 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez with168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Liam Lawson.
Speculation has been intense about Red Bull potentially b🦄ooting Perez out during the summer break amid his disastrous form since the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
Perez’s poor run of results has meant that Red Bull are vulnerable in the F1 constructors’ championship, particularly 💯given McLaren’s resurgence.
According to various reports, Red Bull are considering replacing Perez with Lawson, who completed a test for the team last week, while Tsunoda and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo are in the frame.
Tsunoda has out-performed Ricciardo throughout 2024 but it appears Red Bull aren’t sold on giving the Japanese driver an opportunity alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.
Speaking ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix, where 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:mahbx.com are in the paddock, ꦓTsunoda addressed the speculation surrounding the second Red Bull seat.
“Yes [I 𓂃do deserve the 🏅seat next to Max],” he said.
“If Iಌ’m not ready then I wouldn’t have been able to announce the next season even at VCARB.
“I’m feeling ready compared to last three years to fight against the top teams, higher positions and even with Max. In the eﷺnd, they are the ones that are going to decide and 𓂃it's one of the things I can’t control.
“I’m just focusing on what I have to do in the next two races, Haas is getting really close, so I have to stay focused with our team. Let’s see how it goes. Just same as previous races, focused on what I have to do with my p൩erformance.”

T🤡sunoda was asked about the prospect of Lawson getting the call-up to Red Bull over him.
The current RB driver described that scenario as “weird” as T൲sunoda feels he’s proven himself more than Lawson has.
“Ifꦰ they choose Liam, that would be weird,” Tsunoda added. “Liam did a really good job when he drove in the sim, but I think I did more than that.
“So, wღe'll see how it goes. In the end they know how to manage the drivers."
Tsunoda also co♕nfirmed that no “serious conversation” with Christian Horner or Helmut Marko has taken place yet.
“Not like clear [discussions],” he explained. “Casual chatting like in the hospitality. I guess they're not really rush🃏ing it. Checo was announced a few races before. Checo had performed really well and ♔if the driver is performing well, they don't have reason to change drivers.
“In the end, what they did was a good thing for Checo, because they didn't want to create any pressure and that'ꦍs definitely fair.
“For myself, they wanted me to drive and focus on what I'm doing right⭕ now, so we didn't have a serious conversation y🌳et.”
