Red Bull’s deꦆcision to axe 🦂Liam Lawson after two F1 races reportedly stems from the lessons learned from Sergio Perez’s stint with the team.

On Thursday morning, Red Bull announced that Lawson and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda would swap seats at the Japanese Grand Prix.

Lawson has endur✃ed a miserable 💖opening two races for the team, failing to score a single point.

On the other hand, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen sits second in the drivers’ championship, eight points behind McLaren’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris.

While Lawson will have the opportunity to rebuild his career at Racing Bulls, it’s a signi🌸ficant blow to his chances of racing for a top team again.

Red Bull learn their lesson

Red Bull have ꧋reportedly learned from Perez🌊’s four years with the team.

Lawson re🍌placed Perez at the end of the 2024 season, where the Mexican finished a lowly eighth in the championship standings.

Perez’s poor form saw Red Bull drop to third in the con🏅structors’ championship, behind McLaren and Ferrari.

Despite his underwh🔥elming results, Perez was handed a contract extension at the Monaco Grand Prix.

Team pri🔯ncipal♈ Christian Horner felt that a new deal would give Perez the confidence to perform again.

In fact, Perez’s form would get worse, and he would fail to finish on theꦆ podium again during his time with the team.

Red Bull seriously considered replacing Perez with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo for the second half of the campaign - ♍but decided against it.

Instead, Lawson replaced🦂 Ricciardo a🌄t RB following the Singapore Grand Prix.

, he noted Red Bull’s desire to avoi🧜d “making the same mistake twice” by “sticking with an underperforming driver for too long”.

While Perez was given four seasons, where ꦯhe mostly underperformed, Red Bull adopted a ruthless approach with Lawson.

“๊Sources say the shareholders, plus Team Principal Christian Horner and Red Bull Motorsport Adviser Helmut🦂 Marko, agreed unanimously that Lawson should go back to Racing Bulls,” Barretto wrote.

“I⛎t🥂’s believed the team accepted that Lawson had also lost his confidence.

“Sources say Red Bull were also mindful of not making ꦑthe sa♏me mistake twice and sticking with an underperforming driver for too long.

“It is understood that Red Bull would con🍸sider promoting him again in the future, should he prove himself at the sister te♉am.”
