While Yuki Tsunoda finished two laps down in 17th place, Liam Lawson finished inside the points in Monaco.
Liam Lawson expressed that Yuki Tsunoda’s recent challenges in Red Bull’s Formula 1 car do not bring any relief to his own situation.
Lawson was abruptly replaced by Red Bull after just two races in the 2025 F1 season, with Tsunoda taking his spot next to Max Verstappen.
Although Tsunoda initially showed promise with strong performances, recent races have been tough for him, such as finishing 10th in Imola and 17th in Monaco.
Lawson maintains that he never had a genuine chance to showcase his abilities at Red Bull, regardless of Tsunoda’s struggles.
Focusing on his current role at Racing Bulls, Lawson secured his first points of the season with an 8th place finish in Monaco.
Despite his strategic race in Monaco aiding his team, Lawson does not believe it boosted his confidence, asserting that his self-assurance has remained consistent.
While Red Bull’s management cited lack of confidence as a factor in Lawson’s challenges, he stands firm that confidence was not his issue in previous races.
