Red Bull is set to make a significant announcement this week regarding their 2025 driver lineup, leaving both Yuki Tsunoda and Liam Lawson anxiously awaiting to learn about their Formula 1 futures. The two AlphaTauri drivers have been hoping to step into the Red Bull seat, which is currently occupied by Sergio Perez, who is facing increasing scrutiny due to his performance this season.
The tension surrounding Perez’s position escalated following his early retirement during the season finale in Abu Dhabi, where he suffered a lap-one DNF. This has fueled growing rumors in the paddock that Red Bull is considering parting ways with the Mexican driver for the 2025 season. Despite his six Grand Prix wins, Perez remains under contract with Red Bull, leading to ongoing and intense behind-the-scenes discussions regarding his future with the team.
Tsunoda, who has had a solid season with AlphaTauri, and Lawson, who has impressed during his substitute appearances for Perez, both see an opportunity to move up to Red Bull. With the team’s dominance in the sport and their focus on securing the best talent for the upcoming season, both drivers are eager to demonstrate their readiness for a higher role in the organization.
As Red Bull finalizes its plans for 2025, the announcement is expected to have significant implications for both Tsunoda and Lawson, as well as the future of Perez. The decision is sure to be one of the most talked-about in the F1 paddock as Red Bull looks to solidify their driver lineup for the new season.
