Yuki Tsunoda “looks certain” to lose Red Bull drive as rumours swirl
According to BBC F1 journalist Andrew Benson, Yuki Tsunoda is expected to lose his Red Bull drive by the end of the 2025 season if his performance does not improve significantly. Tsunoda replaced Liam Lawson due to poor performance, but is still behind Max Verstappen. Isack Hadjar’s success at Racing Bulls makes a change for 2026 very likely. Arvid Lindblad from Red Bull’s junior programme is set to move up to RB Racing next year. The Second Alpine seat, currently held by Franco Colapinto, is uncertain, with Sergio Perez being a potential option. With most teams having finalized their lineups, Mercedes is likely to keep George Russell and Kimi Antonelli. The future of the second Alpine seat is open, with Pierre Gasly under contract but uncertain continuity following changes in leadership at the team.
