The expression, nothing changes like the weather, could, in a way, apply to Red Bull Racing. What is the absolute truth for the Austrian team one day can be the opposite the next. There is no longer any measure for Red Bull’s actions and beliefs.
Former F1 driver, Ralf Schumacher, has criticised Red Bull Racing’s approach to its drivers’ management, claiming Yuki Tsunoda taking over from Liam Lawson is yet another wrong choice, with the German he would have picked a different driver to take the second seat at the Austrian team next to Max Verstappen.
Former F1 driver, Jaime Alguersuari, has weighed in on Red Bull Racing’s decision to replace Liam Lawson with Yuki Tsunoda ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix, and claimed the Kiwi driver did not became the worst driver in two weeks, highlighting the impossible task of measuring up to ‘probably the best F1 driver ever’, Max Verstappen.
Red Bull Racing chief advisor, Helmut Marko, has labeled Yuki Tsunoda’s debut at the Austrian team ahead of his home race, the F1 Japanese Grand Prix, a coincidence, and has stated Tsunoda’s 2025 ‘consistent spell’ – of only two races – as the reason behind his appointment as Liam Lawson’s replacement at Red Bull.
