Liam Lawson officially dumped after two races

Liam Lawson has sensationally been axed after just two races, with Yuki Tsunoda promoted to the main team ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix. Lawson will see out the season at Racing Bulls, returning to the team at which he started 11 grands prix prior to his promotion this season. The move was heavily rumoured during the Chinese Grand Prix, where Lawson qualified last for both the sprint and the feature race. He finished well outside the points for both and far behind teammate Max Verstappen, who pinched a podium in the short Saturday race. It compounded his difficult maiden in Australia, where he crashed out of the race after starting from pit lane. The Kiwi had been inducted to Red Bull Racing to replace Sergio Pérez, who struggled badly last year, scoring just 13 points in the final nine rounds. Lawson has now fallen on his sword just 13 days after first suiting up for the team for first practice in Melbourne. “It has been difficult to see Liam struggle with the RB21 at the first two races, and as a result we have collectively taken the decision to make an early switch,” Red Bull Racing principal Christian Horner […]

Honda distances itself from Tsunoda

The manufacturer has clarified that Tsunoda is “fundamentally an independent driver” with sponsorship from Honda, and that it no longer needs to negotiate deals for him. If Yuki Tsunoda and his new management were hoping to receive a helping hand from Honda as Tsunoda builds a case to remain in Formula 1, the mood music coming from HQ isn’t promising. As a member of Honda’s driver programme, Tsunoda was fast-tracked through the European junior single-seater ladder, making his F1 debut in 2021 with the team then known as AlphaTauri. At the time it was politically expedient for Red Bull to take a Honda-supported driver since it was trying to keep the manufacturer engaged in F1 after an expensive spend to reach competitiveness – and much bad PR during its abortive comeback with McLaren. But now the landscape has shifted: Honda is realigning itself with Aston Martin, Red Bull is pivoting back towards building its own engines, albeit with Ford sponsorship, and Tsunoda is entering his fifth season in F1 having failed to convince Red Bull he is worth promoting to partner Max Verstappen in its senior team. And the message to him from Honda is: you’re on your own. “He [Tsunoda] needs to […]

Honda Helps Yuki Tsunoda twists Red Bull’s arm to test F1 car

Yuki Tsunoda has thanked Honda for pushing Red Bull into giving him a test in their F1 car. Despite being within the Red Bull family since 2021, Tsunoda has rarely been mentioned as a serious candidate to be Max Verstappen’s teammate. This season he outperformed RB teammate Daniel Ricciardo who has now been replaced by Liam Lawson. Yet, Lawson is more regularly touted for the Red Bull drive than Tsunoda. But Honda – the Japanese manufacturer who back Tsunoda and are partners of Red Bull – have interjected to request a test drive. “It’s a very good opportunity,” Tsunoda said to Motorsport. “At least I finally can show a bit of my driving and they just can see how I’m driving. “I think it’s very important. So at least it feels great. Finally, they’re giving me an opportunity. “I don’t know if it still happens or not, but there’s something even I heard from them directly. I try to maximise my opportunity. “Definitely Honda helped me to push that testing. I am very appreciative of them. “Obviously, I was pushing since the first race, as well, even for last year. I was able to show results that I [have] stepped […]
