A Red Bull Formula 1 driver has announced a surprising split while also revealing a new partnership for the upcoming 2025 season. The news has sent shockwaves through the motorsport world as it marks a significant shift in the team’s driver lineup.
Red Bull Racing, based in Milton Keynes, has confirmed that they have signed Liam Lawson for the 2025 season, alongside current world champion Max Verstappen. This decision means that Yuki Tsunoda, who had hoped to secure a promotion to Red Bull’s main team, has been overlooked for the position. The news of Lawson’s inclusion in the team comes as a major surprise, especially considering Tsunoda had been seen as a potential candidate for a promotion to the senior team. The announcement leaves the Japanese driver without a seat in the Red Bull setup for 2025, with Lawson now stepping into a prominent role.
Liam Lawson, who has been a part of the Red Bull driver program for several years, has impressed in various roles, including a stint as a reserve driver. His consistent performances in junior series and his ability to adapt quickly to Formula 1 machinery have earned him a place in the team for the next season. Many fans and pundits had speculated that Lawson’s breakthrough into the main Red Bull team was only a matter of time, given his promising performances and the increasing pressure on Red Bull to give fresh talent an opportunity.
For Tsunoda, the news represents a major setback. Having been with AlphaTauri, Red Bull’s sister team, for a few seasons, Tsunoda had hoped his strong performances in the lower ranks of the team would lead to a promotion. However, Red Bull’s decision to opt for Lawson instead of Tsunoda highlights the team’s ongoing focus on developing new talent and the competitive nature of the driver selection process within the Red Bull program.
In the midst of the announcement, Red Bull Racing has also revealed that Tsunoda will not be a part of their plans for 2025, adding further uncertainty to his future within the Red Bull family. The team’s choice to partner Verstappen with Lawson has further solidified Lawson’s reputation as one of the brightest young talents in Formula 1.
As the 2025 season approaches, all eyes will be on the new partnership between Verstappen and Lawson, as well as the future of Yuki Tsunoda, who will be seeking new opportunities in the sport.
