Christian Horner says a big factor in the decision to move Liam Lawson to Racing Bulls after just two races was because his engineers had become “concerned” by his mental state.

Hardly an hour goes by without more news on Red Bull and their driver line-up. For obvious reasons, Christian Horner’s team is firmly under the spotlight as Yuki Tsunoda replaces Liam Lawson for the remainder of 2025.

Yuki Tsunoda has insisted he has been told by Red Bull team principal Christian Horner that he will be allowed to finish ahead of Max Verstappen if his performances allow. The Japanese driver will make his Red Bull debut at Suzuka this weekend in front of his home crowd after replacing Liam Lawson following two races.
