Formula 1: Liam Lawson “did not see” Red Bull Demotion coming soon

Liam Lawson claims that Red Bull’s decoction after only two races was a total surprise.

The New Zealand was sent to the second Red Bull team, Racing Bulls, After the Chinese Grand Prix, with the Japanese pilot Yuki Tsunoda moving in the other direction in time for the race of this weekend in Japan.

“It was definitely a shock, honestly. It’s not something I saw coming,” said Lawson to Sky Sports.

“The discussions we were having were not really supporting in this direction, so it was certainly not something I expected.”

The 23 -year -old was chosen by Red Bull in view of Tsunoda to replace Sergio Perez, who left the team at the end of the 2024 season.

But he started his time badly in the place, qualifying the 18th at the Grand Prix of opening the season in Australia before crashing out of the race in the rain.

In China two weeks ago, he qualified last both for the sprint and for the Grand Prix, before finishing the two races 14 and 12th.

There were those results that saw Christian Horner of the team make the quick decision to bring Tsunoda, with the director of Motorsport Helmut Marko who said the team “He made a mistake” Lowson signs.
