Red Bull are reportedly weighing up whether to immediately replace 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson.

A switch could take place between Lawson and Racing Bulls driver 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda as early as the next F1 race, the 🐷Japanese Grand Prix, a🐽ccording to .

Red Bull are already considering the swap after Lawson’s nightmare start to the 2025 F1 season continued in China this weekend.

Lawson cra🔜shed out of the season-opening Australian Grand Prix on his Red Bull debut after being elওiminated in the first part of qualifying.

The 23-year-old Kiwi then qu🌞alified last fꦰor both the sprint race and the main grand prix in Shanghai.

Lawson could only recover to 15th in Sunday’s Chinese Grand Prix, compounding his truly miserable start to the year. He was pr🌞omoted to 12th when three driver♔s were later disqualified.

Rumours𝓡 are swirling that a driver swap betwꦿeen Red Bull and their sister team Racing Bulls is likely.

Tsunoda was initial🏅ly overlooked by Red Bull for a 2025 F1 pro♌motion as the team instead opted to promote Lawson as the axed Sergio Perez’s replacement.

That was despite Lawson completing just 11 grands prix spread over two yea🧸rs for Racing Bull🐼s and his failure to convincingly out-perform Tsunoda.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner cited Lawson’s mental resilience as bein🎶gಞ a key factor behind the decision.

“Radical” set-up behind poor Chinese GP

Horner revealed after Sunday’s race that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Red Bull had🌌 experimented with the set-up on Lawson’s car to gain some crucial learning.

“We made the decision to take him off the grid, and into parc ferme, to try some radical changes on the set-up because we are so limited in testing these cars,” Horner told Sky♈ Sports.

“It made ꧂sense to say ‘oka🍎y, we are starting at the back, let’s try to learn something’.

"We have done t🐷hat. We have 56 laps of information with a radically different set-up on the car.

“That gives huge information back into the factory as we lo🌟ok to improve our perform𝔍ance.”

On the set-up, Lawson commented: "W💫e tried to do ⛦something aggressive with the set-up, mostly to learn something, to get an idea.

"We definitely lea🍌rned something but it just didn’t work today."

Asked about Lawson’s future, Ho❀rner said: “Liam is a great little racer. He gets his elbows out and races hard.

“He’s just struggling, at the moment, to find the limit and get the mos𒈔t out of this ca🐠r.

“As a team, a group, we are looking to support him as best we ♑can. He’ll be in the debrief giving the information to the engineers.”

Horner added: “You ar💎e always going for ultimate performance. Fast cars are never easy to drive.

“We know there is performance to find and we need both drivers up there, if there is any hope of fighting for the constructors’ champion꧟ship.

"In the driv꧃ers’ championship, you need to have a second car in play.

“You can’t just do it one-legged. 𓆉As a team we want collectively to get both cars as far up the grid as we can.

“F1 is a pressur🍬e business. There is always time pressure. He kno🌳ws that.

“Hopefully he will respond accordingly and we’🐻ll see where🐽 we go.”

Following a disastrous qualifying on Saturday, Lawson admitted he doesn’t have time to f🌳ind confidence in the RB21.

Pushed on what he meant by tha𓃲t comment, Lawson replied: “We are into the seasons, two races in, we 🃏are racing.

“You’d love to have 60 test days. I know someꦡ of the other guys tested a lot out of season.

“It’s not something we did. It’s not something we can do in this car anyway🍌.

“It’s not an excuse. It’s something I need to get on top of, as quicklꦺy as I can.”
