Red Bull dumps Lawson for Tsunoda ahead of Japanese Grand Prix

Great news for Yuki. He should have been in the senior RB car from the start of the season. Lawson had shown nothing to suggest he was good enough, while Yuki is getting better all the time.

With a Honda engine behind him, on Honda's own track, and in his home GP...watch Yuki fly! He will take the fight up to Verstappen all the way this season.

I really hope this works out for Yuki, as well as for Liam. The RB21 car is snappy with an oversteering nature, which should work well with Yuki's driving style, so the car designed to cater to Max should be less of a problem for Yuki as it was for his predecessors. Yuki has definitely improved and most importantly matured over the past few seasons, so the question will be, has he matured enough? Here's hoping he doesn't have a meltdown and implode when he expectedly can't get the same performance out of the car as his teammate.
