Red Bull's decision to swap Liam Lawson with its junior team driver Yuki Tsunoda has had no impact on the rookie driver.

Yuki Tsunoda will replace Liam Lawson at Red Bull from the Japanese Grand Prix, and the New Zealander will return to the Racing Bulls.

Yuki Tsunoda and Liam Lawson have switched rides, as Red Bull Racing hopes to keep its F1 Constructors' Championship hopes alive. Tsunoda comes to this week's F1 Japanese Grand Prix having not yet driven Red Bull’s RB21.
