RED BULL’S dramatic decision to drop Liam Lawson after just two races is set to be confirmed within the next 48 hours, the PA news agency reported today.
Lawson, 23, is expected to be replaced by Racing Bulls’ Yuki Tsunoda for the Japanese driver’s home race in Suzuka a week on Sunday.
New Zealander Lawson’s time at Red Bull was already looking increasingly uncertain after a desperate weekend in China. He qualified last for both the sprint race and the Grand Prix. He also crashed out on his debut for Red Bull in Melbourne a week earlier.
