Liam Lawson blames Red Bull for 2025 axing
Former Red Bull F1 driver Liam Lawson attributes his failure at the team to the outfit’s lack of preparedness. Despite replacing Sergio Perez, he was demoted after only two races to the sister team Racing Bulls alongside rookie Isack Hadjar. With questions about Max Verstappen’s future, Lawson was considered a significant part of the team’s future. However, his two point-less finishes led to his replacement by Yuki Tsunoda, who hasn’t performed significantly better. Lawson’s resurgence includes outscoring Tsunoda in the drivers’ championship. With Red Bull looking at their 2026 driver lineup, Lawson could be a candidate for promotion, potentially challenging Tsunoda or Hadjar, who currently leads him in the standings.
