Red Bull set to axe Liam Lawson?
Lawson was given a promotion into the Red Bull at the end of 2024✤, after 11 impressive outings for their sister team.
Sergio Perez’s four-year stint was ended early, and he was paid off, after a poor season in which his inability to score points cost Red Bull. They conceded the constructors’ championship to McLaren in part because P🐻erez could not contribute enough points.
Lawson was selected ahead of then-teammate 🐲Tsunoda for the promotion.
But Lawson has struggled more than expected in the first 💦two rou🍬nds of 2025.
He has failed to advance beyond Q1 in eܫither Australia or China.
Red Bull are already 40 points behind McLaren in the constructors’, whil🌃e Verstappen trails Land🃏o Norris in the drivers’.
McLaren’s two drivers, Norris and Oscar Piastri, have won a grand prix apiece already in a stark contrast to Red Bul🐟l’s woes.
However, McLaren have the fastest car while even the mighty Verstappen has found his RB21 difficult to dri🤡ve.
Lawson, who has been unable to tame the 2025 Red Bull too, now looks li൩kely to be the latest driver to be ditched from the team.
Tsunoda will have his chance, according to reports on Tuesday night, beginning i♕n a week-and-a-half at the Japanese Grand Prix.
