Red Bull makes up its mind: Liam’s out, Yuki’s in for Japan

Red Bull announced on Thursday that Yuki Tsunoda will replace Liam Lawson in Formula One, effective at the Japanese Grand Prix on April 6.
Lawson's struggles with the RB21 car after only two races prompted Red Bull to make a change.
Lawson crashed in Australia and finished 12th in China, failing to score any points during those races.
Christian Horner stated, "It has been difficult to see Liam struggle...we have collectively taken the decision to make a switch."
Tsunoda, backed by Honda, will now partner with Max Verstappen, while Lawson returns to Racing Bulls with Isack Hadjar.
