Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has teased that a decision on VCARB’s second F1 dr꧑iver will be announced following the Singapore Grand꧃ Prix.

The identity of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda’s teammate for the 2025 F1 season is still unclear with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson the main two candidates.

Ricciardo has generally been out-performed by Tsunoda this year, even though he Australian was viewed as the likelier of the two to replace 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez mid-season if Red Bull decided they wanted to make a change during the ꦅsummer break.

Now, Red Bull ha൩ve a decision to make between Ricci🍷ardo or Lawson.

Laꦉwson impressed during his short stand-in stint last year, ironically, in place of Ricciardo.

Ricciardo has been underwhelming on the whole but ha🐲s steadily improved throughout the year.

The Australiaဣn also has the backing of Red Bull bಌoss Christian Horner.

However, with Lawson waiting on the sidelines, Isack Hadjar impressing in F2, an🦩d Arvid Lindblad - another junior - who’s impressing, openingꦅ up a seat at VCARB could be beneficial for the Red Bull programme.

Speaking to Viaplay, Marko said: “We have an idea, so just wait until Singapore. It's still September and then we'll have a clear pi🎃cture.

“It will become clear there what will happen.”

Marko has reiterated previously that Lawson willܫ be driving for one of Red Bull’s teams in 2025.

If Ricciardo is replaced for next year, it would leave him without a drive🧔 in F1.

One pౠotential vacancy is Sauber, which is still yet to decide between Valtteri Bottas or McLaren junior Gabriel Bortoleto.

Mattia Binotto is expected to make a decision in the co🍃ming weeks though.

Bottas has failed to score a single point in 2024 -🥂 𓂃but that’s down to Sauber’s poor level of performance.

Bortoleto would be a more exciting option and sits top of the F2 standings 🦩𝔍after Baku.
