Since the China Grand Prix, the sparrows whistled from the roofs that Liam Lawson will lose his cockpit at Red Bull Racing. But according to a wild rumor that is currently making the round, the New Zealand is not deported to the sister team, but apparently soon without a job.
The time of Liam Lawson as a Red Bull driver has not even expired 100 days after his imagination. The New Zealand will be his cockpit according to information from RTL/NTV and sport.de and lose other media with immediate effect. The ideas on the first two racing weekends were too weak. Officially, this is not yet from the 23-year-old, just as little as the succession plan.
So far, it has been assumed that Yuki Tsunoda from the sister team Racing Bulls to the main team on the side of Max Verstappen and Lawson had to come to terms with a place at the smaller racing team from the Red Bull cosmos-where he was able to collect first missions in 2023 and 2024.
However, according to information from “Motorsport.com”, the Lawson successor is supposedly planned very differently: According to this, Red Bull Franco Colapinto wants to sign so that he takes over the cockpit from Tsunoda.
Colapinto had drawn attention last year as a temporary replacement for Logan Sargeant at Williams, but did not get a firm fit because Williams had already signed Carlos Sainz (next to Albon).
How would Red Bull be at Colapinto?
Instead, Alpine became aware of Colapinto and signed the 21-year-old Argentinian as a replacement driver.
The question remains open to what kind of Red Bull the services of Colapinto would secure. The shower group would either have to buy the alpine man from his contract or borrow, a procedure that would not be common for Red Bull. Talks with Williams could also be pending.
Either way: “Motorsport.com” writes about a “true earthquake” that could be available in the driver’s line -up. This could be effective at the Japan Grand Prix, which is due on the traditional route in Suzuka from April 4th to April 6th.
