Liam Lawson says Yuki Tsunoda’s recent struggles in 🍌Red Bull’s Formula 1 car don’t make the situation any better for him.

Lawson was unceremoniously dropped by Red Bull after just two races in the 2025 F1 season and shuffled back to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Racing Bulls, with Tsunoda going in the other direction and taking the seat alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.

While the driver swap yielded immediate success with Tsunoda adapting quic🧸kly to the RB21 to 🐼break inside Q3 in qualifying and finish inside the points in Bahrain, the last few weekends have been difficult for the Japanese driver.

At Imola, Tsunoda finished down in 10th place on a day Verstappen beat McLaren’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri to take an impressive victory. Things went further south in Monaco, ▨with Tsunoda qualifying in 12th place and finishin▨g the race two laps down in 17th.

However, these results don’t provide any respite to Lawson, who maintains that he di🍸dn’t get a real opportunity to prove his worth at Red Bull.

“At the end of the day it doesn't really change anything for me as much a🐈s I ever really got the chance to show what I was capable of in a ✃Red Bull,” he told reporters including in Barcelona.

“It doesn't really change too much. If anybody else struggles in that car, it doesn't affect or change me. It d💃oesn't make it any better for me, obviously.

"So I'm 🍎just focused on doing the best job in the car that I'm in, which💟 is what I'm doing at the moment.”

Lawso𒆙n secured his first points of the 2025 F1 season with an eighth-place finish in the Monaco GP last🌃 weekend.

The Kiwi purposefully held up rivals on the streets of Monte Carlo to build a gap for teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Isack Hadjar to pit twice without losing track position.

These tactics also helped Racing Bulls score a double top ♎10 result, w🅷ith Hadjar finishing a season-best sixth.

However, Lawson doesn🌺’t believe his drive in Monaco served as a confidence boost for him, saying: “Honestly, I think my confidence hasn't changed since last year.

“It didn't change at Red Bull and it didn't change the first couple of♕ races in the♚ RB car.

"It's great to score points in Monaco. And maybe it looks like that it gave me a bunch of coꦦnfidence, that for me🍃 hasn't changed.”

Both Red Bull advisor He🌠lmut Marko and team principal Christian Horner have stated that a lack of self-confidence prevented Lawson from extracting the most out of the RB21, which is known to be a tricky car to drive.

However, Lawson r🧸eiterated that confidence was never the reason behind his struggles in Australia and China, saying: “That’s not my story.”
