FIA announce Red Bull decision after Imola Grand Prix request submitted
The FIA have officially announced their decision following a request from the Red Bull Formula 1 team before the Imola Grand Prix this weekend.
The 2025 campaign’s seventh round begins today in the Emilia-Romagna region, where Red Bull’s Max Verstappen aims for his second victory of the season after an impressive qualifying session on Saturday.
Red Bull, led by Christian Horner, has faced challenges this season, already making a driver change for Verstappen’s teammate and securing just one grand prix win.
Yuki Tsunoda, taking over from Liam Lawson, is still adjusting to the RB21, with the Japanese driver positioned at P20 for the Imola Grand Prix following a major crash during qualifying.
After Red Bull’s request, the FIA has granted permission for Tsunoda to start the race as he had performed well in practice, lining him up to officially start the race from P20 on the grid.
