Tsunoda looks set to replace Lawson at Red Bull after just two races of the 2025 F1 season
Yuki Tsunoda is likely to replace Liam Lawson at Red Bull in a move possibly occurring as early as the next F1 race in Japan. This follows a reported lackluster performance by Lawson in the initial 2025 races and a history of rivalry between the two drivers dating back to junior formulas. Analysis of their race results in 2023 (1-4) shows Lawson outperforming Tsunoda, while 2024 (4-2) shows Tsunoda ahead, though Lawson scored points in his return last year. Tsunoda out-qualified Lawson 7-2 (including sprints). Both drivers have expressed their desire for the Red Bull seat.
