It was no shock that rookie Liam Lawson bounced out of the team after just two race weekends. But it does again illustrate just how wrong Red Bull planned this.

Red Bull has dropped Liam Lawson as four-time reigning Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen's teammate after just two races and replaced him with Yuki Tsunoda.

Red Bull Racing's top brass, Christian Horner and Helmut Marko, are at risk at the Austrian team, GPblog has learned. Furthermore, should Red Bill fail to keep Max Verstappen in its ranks, the 81 year old chief advisor would consider that a good reason to leave F1.
