F🧔ormer racing driver Billy Monger says it would be “silly” of Red Bull to drop Liam Lawson ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix, given his familiarity with the Suzuka circuit.

Red Bull hav❀e reportedly settled on a decision to replace Lawson with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda after just two races.

However, they have made no official comment yet.

Rumours surfaced follow🔥ing Lawson’s disappointing performance at the Chinese Grand Prix.

During his two Red Bull outings, Lawson failed to make it out of Q1 in qualifying and didn’t lookღ like scoring points.

While the Red Bull isn’t able to win races on merit at the moment, even in the hands of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen, Lawson is underperforming.

Red 🌸Bull had an emergency meeting to discuss their troublesome start to the year, where Lawson was 𓆏reportedly ditched.

Red Bull aren’t afrai🤪d to make brutal decisions, binning off Nyck de Vries after 10 races in 2023 at AlphaTauri.

Similarly, Pierre Gasly was demoted back to Toro Rosso after 12 races with Red Bull in 🦋🎶2019.

Mo💝n🐽ger, a Channel 4 F1 pundit, feels that Lawson deserves the chance to race in Japan because he knows the circuit well, unlike Australia and China.

“It🎉’s so hard to imagine especially with all the effort from the team’s side to Checo, Sergio Perez, who was under contract befo🐻re they got Liam Lawson into replace him and had to negotiate his exit early,” he told .

“There was a lot of effort♍ made by Red Bull as𒅌 a team to bring Liam Lawson into that seat alongside Max Verstappen. So, to think after two race weekend they are already looking at his fuutre.

“I mean, it’s hard to comprehend but equally Liam knows that the performances he’s put in so far haven’t been good enough in comparison to where Max is. ꦿMax

Verstappen has beenꦇ right up ther𝐆e in the top five minimum and Liam hasn’t got out of Q1 yet. He’s got a lot of work to do.

“The next race is in Japan - and it’s a circuit he knows really well. From my perspective, I think it would be silly not to give him that opport♍unity in Japan.”

“Too much pressure for Tsunoda”

Tsunoda would be Lawson’s rౠeplacement if Red Bull decide to make a change.

Tsunoda has impressed at Racing Bulls du🥃ring the opening two races, consistently qualifying in tꦡhe top 10.

Without strategy blunders, Tsun🍎oda would have more than thr✤ee points to his name.

However, Monger thinks that Japan being Tsunoda’s first race as a Red Bull driver could bring additional prꦦessure.

“And ♏also, if you put Yuki Tsunoda in for Japan, he’s a Japanese driver and has enough pressure o꧃n his shoulders," he added. "It could be too much pressure for him to handle as well.”
