On Tuesday night, GPblog confirmed that Liam Lawson will replace Yuki Tsunoda for the Japanese Grand Prix. Red Bull Racing's management decided to step in after two disappointing race weekends for the New Zealander. On X, not everyone is impressed with the team's decision.

"On X, not everyone is impressed with the team's decision." What teams decision? As of right now, nothing is confirmed. The media reporting that it is, is fuelling comments from people who are being misinformed and believing what they read.

This isnt going to be solved in a few races. He needs a monumental amount of in car time wich isnt given anymore these days. Its realy sad for all those drivers that stepped inside that Red Bull next to Max. All those divers are pretty good in almost any other car just look at them all, Gasly / Albon / Perez / Lawson / Yuki are all decent drivers, maybe not a once in a lifetime talent, but quick enough to get cars to a good position. All of them struggled so hard, and this isnt so due to a car being made just for Max. This is the characteristics of said car where a driver needs to adapt to. And Albon nailed it, its like setting your controller to its maximum sensitivity and try to make a corner, if you do not know how to throttle / brake in the corners you lose a ton of time wich is happening to all drivers in that Red Bull. Its such an extreme car feat wich many drivers hate as its so unforgiven and takes alot of time to adjust to wich is not something Red Bull can give with so much at stake each GP. Maybe if Lawson gets some more driving hours in an F1 car he is able to pick up that much needed skillset to adapt to such car. But if Yuki nails it then he can make himself immortal ! infront of his homecrowd ! what a story that would be. Yet in all honesty i think he will also drown due to the way that car needs to be driven. Few more days and we know !
