168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda has reignited talk of a possible Red Bull F1 promotion by claiming he is “100%” ready to replace the under-pressure 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson.
Scrutiny is already mounting on Lawson after his 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:nightmar🍸e start to his R🦩ed Bull career continued as he ended 𒊎up slowest of all in qualifying for the Chinese Grand Prix.
It marked the second time i🍌n two days that Lawson quꦺalified P20, adding to his disappointing Q1 elimination at last weekend’s season-opener in Melbourne.
Lawson’s Red Bull teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen has not qualified outside the 🐈top four so far this season.
🅺The 23-year-old Kiwi was chosen by Red Bull to replace the underperforming Sergio Perez for 2025, having been promoted from sister team Racing Bulls despite only making 11 grand prix starts spread over two years.
Lawson also fail🍨ed to comprehensively out-perform Tsunoda during their brief spell as Racing Bulls teammates, though Red Bull still opted to overlook the Japanese driver.
In contrast to Lawson, Tsunoda iꦕs enjoying a fine start to the season.
: "In Japan? Yeah, 100%. I mean, the car is faster.”Red Bull not ruling out driver change
Red Bull motorsport adv♊iso꧙r Helmut Marko did not rule out the possibility of a driver swap during the season.
"Formula 1 is a competiti🐻ve sport and ultimately that's what counts," Marko told Sky Germany, adding that Lawson’s performance was “not what we expecte🧸d, but we will discuss it calmly.”
Red Bull team principal Chri✱stian Horner admitted to Sky Sports: "It's been a tough day in൲ the office for him today so we'll have a good look at it and go through it and obviously try and give him the best car for tomorrow.”
Following his latest disappointment, Lawson conceded “I don’t really💎 have time” to find confidence in the RB21.
“Unfortuna෴tely I don't really have time, but it's just one of those things,” he told Sky Sports.
“I mean to drive a Formula 1 car, it takes 100% confidence in what you're doing and it's not that I don't feel conf😼ident, but the window's so small that right now I just seem to miss it. It's that that I just need to ge𓆉t a handle on.
"So yeah, I don't know how else to put ♒it really, it's just not good en🧜ough."
