Red Bull Racing announced that Yuki Tsunoda will continue with the team next season, leaving Daniel Ricciardo or Liam Lawson without a drive opportunity. Ricciardo, currently in the seat, has struggled to deliver consistent results and is trailing his less-experienced teammate by 10 points this season. The possibility of Ricciardo returning to the senior Red Bull team has been dimmed due to Sergio Perez’s contract extension.
