Yuki Tsunoda’s Big Break: Can He Deliver for Red Bull in Japan?

Send us a text Red Bull just made a massive driver move ahead of the 2025 Japanese Grand Prix, promoting Yuki Tsunoda to the top team and sending Liam Lawson to Racing Bulls. Was this the right call, or did Red Bull jump the gun on Lawson? In this episode, we break down the shocking mid-season shuffle and what it means for Red Bull’s championship battle. With Ferrari struggling, Red Bull is unexpectedly closing in on Mercedes, and McLaren still leading the charge. Will Yuki’s promotion help Red Bull climb even higher, or is this a risky move that could backfire? We also discuss how the timing—right before Yuki’s home race in Suzuka—could be both a brilliant marketing move and a high-pressure test for the Japanese driver.
