Show Notes
Liam Lawson's future at Red Bull in Formula 1 remains gridlocked by speculation.
Reports suggest Racing Bulls driver Yuki Tsunoda will swap with Lawson for the Japanese Grand Prix next weekend, joining defending world champion teammate Max Verstappen.
Lawson's opportunities have been slim on unfamiliar tracks in a new car thus far, one of which was in the wet at Melbourne.
Formula 1 Journalist Chris Medland told Mike Hosking Red Bull has likely decided to make a change before the situation becomes irreparable and damages Lawson’s confidence too much.
From his point of view, they should have had the more experienced Tsunoda in instead, as he has nothing left to prove and whereas Lawson still has more learning to do.
