Official: Yuki Tsunoda to replace Lawson at Red Bull

The new Formula 1 season has just begun, and already there's the first driver change affecting the Red Bull team.

Details: Formula 1 officially announced on social network X (formerly Twitter) that Japanese driver Yuki Tsunoda is moving to Red Bull Racing. Meanwhile, Liam Lawson will return to the Racing Bulls team, where he will pair up with Formula 1 newcomer Isack Hadjar.

Liam Lawson had a rough start to the season's first two Grands Prix. In Australia, he failed to finish due to challenging weather conditions, and in China, he placed 12th after three drivers were disqualified.

Yuki Tsunoda finished last at the most recent Grand Prix, securing 16th place. In Australia, he finished 12th among the 14 drivers who made it to the end.

Reminder: The French team Alpine is preparing to give a chance to their reserve driver Ryo Hirakawa. He will participate in the first practice session ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix in the first weekend of April.
