Liam Lawson gets emotional after facing the Red Bull axe

Red Bull's Axed F1 driver Liam Lawson got emotional and posted an emotional story on his social media about his experience and his past dream to become an F1 driver. After just two races, the Red Bull management decided to swap him with a more experienced Yuki Tsunoda from VCARB.

Tsunoda was been with the team since the 2021 Formula 1 season, and many thought he would be the next Red Bull driver after Sergio Perez. But Christian Horner and Helmut Marko thought the other way and decided to go with young Liam Lawson, who had just come onto the team. They believed he had more skills and the ability to handle pressure better than Tsunoda. However, it was the opposite of what they thought as Liam Lawson struggled too much with the RB21 car and had a drastic difference in results compared with Max Verstappen.

He crashed his car at the Australian Grand Prix and finished outside the points table in the chinese GP. This was not the desired result from Liam, and the management thought of replacing him with Tsunoda, who is in the form of his life according to Marko. From the 2025 Japanese Grand Prix, Yuki Tsunoda will take the steering wheel from Liam and become the new teammate of Max Verstappen. The reigning world champion is also unhappy with Red Bull’s decision, and he even liked a post supporting Lawson.
