In a shocking turn of events, Red Bull has made a bold decision to demote Liam Lawson back to the Racing Bulls junior team after just two rounds of the F1 2025 season. This move comes after Lawson’s dismal performance in Australia and China, where he struggled to make an impact on the track, raising concerns about his readiness for Formula 1.
Jos Verstappen, father of Red Bull’s superstar driver Max Verstappen, has come out in support of Lawson, emphasizing that the young driver “deserves” his spot in the pinnacle of motorsport. The decision to send Lawson back to the junior team was met with mixed reactions, with reports suggesting that Max Verstappen himself was not pleased with the swap.
Lawson, who had been chosen to replace Sergio Perez for the 2025 season, now faces the challenge of regaining his confidence and proving his worth at the Racing Bulls team. Despite the setback, Lawson remains determined to make his mark in Formula 1 and is grateful for the support he has received from fans and his new team.
As Lawson prepares for his upcoming race at Suzuka, he is focused on seizing this opportunity to showcase his talents and fulfill his lifelong dream of being a Red Bull Racing driver. The pressure is on as Lawson looks to bounce back from his recent struggles and make a strong comeback on the track.
With all eyes on Liam Lawson’s journey back to the top, the F1 world awaits to see if this young driver has what it takes to overcome adversity and shine in the competitive world of Formula 1.
