Autosport Podcast: Will the Lawson/Tsunoda swap fix the problems at Red Bull F1?

Red Bull has already called time on Liam Lawson’s very short stint with the team, as the 23-year-old has been dropped after just two grands prix in 2025.

Lawson will return to Red Bull’s sister squad Racing Bulls, with his former team-mate Yuki Tsunoda heading to the ‘A’ team after a point-less start to the Formula 1 campaign for the New Zealander. 

It comes in time for Tsunoda’s home race in Japan next weekend, so Autosport’s Stuart Codling sits down with Jake Boxall-Legge and Alex Kalinauckas to discuss the driver swap.

The trio ponder whether Lawson deserved more time, the misconceptions around Max Verstappen and the RB21’s development and what happens next for Tsunoda and Lawson.
