Maybe he shouldn’t have planted so many doubts in the minds of RB management. Trying to kill Daniel on a cooldown lap can’t have helped the case that he can deal with his team favoring the other driver, which would happen all the time at Redbull.
Happy for Liam. Wish him the best. Would never wish him ill. Do feel sad for Checo and Yuki. But there's nothing I can do. And hope this means better things are ahead for them! 😊
Tsunoda has been in F1 for several years. Liam is a rookie and matched him. In no way did Tsunoda deserve the drive. He has far less growth potential given their relative experience and performance.
@ultimateninjanoob1 Cota and Mexico liam was faster and 3 other races he was only 1 tenth off in qualifying. Plus sprint qualifying he was better and 4 years experience vs 11 races.
The seat next to Max has got to be the most desired and hated seat in all of F1. Verstappen is still growing as a driver and he's proven to be the best driver on the grid this past year, so his data have got to be valuable for every driver. But you'll always be compared to him as well. Checo was more experienced when he joined the team and actually held his own for a while. All the best to Lawson. He comes across as a nice bloke, I hope he can handle the pressure well.
I don't understand why people expected redbull to pick yuki over liam. Yuki was apart of VCARB (RB) due to the honda deal they had with red bull. With that gone in 2026 why would red bull bother with yuki when they can invest in liam? And honda will be looking to get him a seat with a team using the honda engine like aston martin or Cadillac.
bang on correct! Exactly what Red Bull were thinking plus I feel that maybe Verstappen might have expressed his preference swinging the decision to Lawson taking the seat.
@@tefyau ??? Cadillac and Ferrari already announced that Cadillac will use Ferrari engines. What are you even on about? And Aston has no free seat in 2026 and even if they did Honda has no final power over Aston Martin seats. Final decision fully belongs to Lawrence Stroll. And Lawrence is not a type who would accept Yuki as star driver in his team alongside his son.
good to see a pundit identifying Liams mental strength as an asset..it is his best trait I think.. Yuki deserved the seat really it must be politics. I heard Ford are not happy to take a Honda driver going forward. I wish Liam well. its great to see drivers come up who have not had everything handed to them on a plate.
Yuki never really really put 1 race result in that really raised eyebrows. So i totally understand. But I think it's very weird to put a 'rookie' in the RedBull, especially considering the difficulties Alex and Pierre had.
Yuki'stans remember this.. Honda is why Yuki exists in RBR/VCarb, Honda is leaving in '25 for Aston in '26. 4 years, yes, and yes he beat Dani Ric and DeVries and yes he did beat Liam. His time over Liam was factional, as in .006 average pace difference. His average pace against Dani Ric and Nyck was .2 - .5 . In his 4 years he couldn't get much more over Liam who's had 11 races and was just throw into it. I promise you don't know more than what RedBull/VCarb know. No matter what you may think you know.
I think it is pretty clear that Yuki wasn't considered to be mature enough even though he became more mature over the past two seasons. Liam Lawson was super impressive in wheel to wheel battles the first two races he jumped into the car. Listening to Horner's interview which was published yesterday the key differentiator seemed to be mentality as the most important quality to race alongside Max Verstappen. And no one can deny that he has that and also is very talented - let's just see what he'll be able to do alongside Max next season. And to all who say it's a betrayal to Yuki: If he doesn't get promoted after four years then RB most likely have their reasons apart from his bonds with Honda.
agreed, Marko wrote him off a long time ago and once he makes a decision... he's stubborn. he would be too aggressive against Max. Lawson understands the politics and pecking order...
So mature he damn near plowed his car into Ricciardo on a cooldown lap this season over team orders. The “maturity” element is too little too late. Claiming he’s matured is recency bias… he only seemed to TRY and chill out when it dawned on him 3.5 years into F1 that maybe Redbull would promote him if he could show some self control. The damage was already done by then.
@@scottmeredith3359Yeah, I probably had his swearing in mind and completely forgot about that incident with Ricciardo. He def matured in the way he communicated inside and more so outside the car but you're probably right in stating that it really only has been much better in the past nine months or so.
It's a very big task to go into his first full season in the RedBull, nobody else has really had to do that. I do like Liam Lawson a lot, and I hope he does well and proves everyone wrong, but it almost feels too tall a task for him to be very competitive probably as fast as they'll want him to. I don't think it's fair everyone hating on him so soon, RB clearly never considered Yuki, they'll say it's because of his ties with Honda but they just don't want him, I think people need to realise that. I hope he's able to survive alongside Max, it'd be quite sad to see him crack under all this pressure, if anything I hope he can be a good teammate, rack up a few wins and just be consistent, sadly whoever joins alongside Max will never be the teams priority, so I hope he does as well as he can.
Well he's going into a much quicker car he's moved from very low midfield 2 at the front so I expect Lawson 2 be 5th 4th maybe a podium here and then cause Red Bull at best want their 2nd driver 2 have a good season they wouldn't want any 2nd driver 2 have a great or biblical season then that means it's taking 2 much away from their golden boy Verstappen and Lawson needs 2 prove he's got talent and can be at the front because if he's just another Perez then he's gone by gone quickly
Yeah because they didn’t “support” Checo 🙄 They gave away a constructors title supporting an underperforming driver for roughly two seasons, it’s such a laughable idea that Redbull don’t support their own drivers when they’d only be sabotaging themselves by NOT supporting them.
@@scottmeredith3359 you only been watching f1 3 years? Im a RB fan but what they did to Gasly and Albon and how they deal with people like Ricciardo, if Max to jum ship I wouldnt be a RB fan any longer. Max is the team. RB as well as a lot of the teams are truely horrible.
Happy for Liam, hope his career doesn’t die in the cradle because the F1 press can’t help themselves questioning why he isn’t beating Max. Yuki dug his own grave over the last four years, clearly stats alone don’t erase the concerns they have over the apparent lack of self control Yuki has shown. Even this season Yuki nearly plowed into his teammate deliberately on a cooldown lap over team orders, that doesn’t exactly demonstrate self constraint.
Yuki's seat is funded by Honda. RBR seem him as the Honda guy. Honda and RBR are done in 2026. It's not difficult to understand why he's never getting promoted to the top team.
plus he's not affiliated with Honda and came through the Red Bull junior program where Yuki didn't. More upward long-term potential with Lawson who was tapping at Yuki's heals only after a handful of races.
There's no doubt RB does not treat their drivers with all the respect they deserve. It would have been logical to give the seat to Yuki. Speaking for myself, I always liked the mindset of Liam and always hoped he got his chance.
*Tries hard not to recall Yuki trying to kill Daniel during a cooldown lap while in a blind rage* “Lawson is a hot head! Yuki would NEVER lack self control!” lol
@@cosmicvcosmic tbh I think max doesn't care who he drives with or against he'll race anything and anyone in front of him on the track, and as we already know he neither takes team orders nor he cares about team orders to fight teammate
@czechplastik not really ! Max had 1.5 season at Toro Rosso. Leclerc had some time a Alpha Romeo. Red Bull had poor management thinking they had more Max figures in their arsenal.
@@czechplastik They're very rare cases, Redbull always vastly overestimate their own junior drivers. Then again, they don't care cause weak drivers keep the Verstappen camp happy, which is the key thing

@@stevieboy666He just said Honda is moving to Aston but didn't say anything about Yuki going to Aston to replace anyone. Maybe Yuki will be another back up driver for Aston?
If Yuki wants something to happen he has to step up and look in other directions, if his ok like this then it means that's his level . Liam has been doing great in the 2 times he has been given a shot , yuki has been improving but that took him what , a few years , and he is still maturing , he would be eaten at redbull.
@@HUMC5 Bottas could fight for the championship in the same way an amateur could pick a fight with Tyson Fury in a bar brawl. Sure, you're both in the fight but one doesn't stand a chance right from the get go.
Is there a positive correlation between driving skill and balding or lisping? I don't get it. When you have lispers and thinners among the "top 20" in the world, you begin to wonder.

Red Bull really makes the worst driver decisions. They haven't got one right since Max. Gasly, Albon, Perez, de Vries, trying to make Ricciardo part 2 happen, this absurd promotion... Maybe it's just time for Horner and Helmut to seek out new greeneries.
I wonder if Lawson can take out a career insurance policy when Red Bull abandons his driving style forcing him to use the upgrades made for MAX causing Lawson to sink further down the grid and lose team points just like ALL THE OTHER DRIVERS,. No driver should take that job, its career suicide as long as Max is there... Do you think there is a therapy group for Riccardo, Gasly, Albon, and Perez? They are heating up a chair for Lawson now.. The test would have been to sign Carlos Sainz, if he was on Red Bull and failed then it would ALL be on Red Bulls shoulders that all the drivers failed.. They failed the drivers the drivers didn't fail Red Bull in my opinion.
he's had a 11 races..he was tapping at Yuki and Yuki has been racing for 4 years in F1. Yuki is a sook with no technical feedback to the team, lacks the mentality.
racism! yuki been doing better and yet. then again here brits with one of their commonwealth driver. How harsh the comment for tsunoda was, yet so soft for riciardo failure and even sent of with grace.
I think it should have gone to Yuki, but I don't see anyone being "successful" in the #2 RB seat. A finicky car in a toxic environment with the most dominant driver is a recipe for failure.
I feel for Yuki ! In my opinion, he should have that RB seat Clearly Lawson is no Schumacher/Hamilton/Verstappen, so why has he been shoved into the seat this early when Yuki could of had a season
People need to realise Yuki is a Honda driver. It was Honda influence who got him into red bull and with Honda going to Aston, yuki doesn’t have the big backing at red bull anymore
All the best to him, but I think Yuki has to feel slight betrayal from RB
Maybe he shouldn’t have planted so many doubts in the minds of RB management. Trying to kill Daniel on a cooldown lap can’t have helped the case that he can deal with his team favoring the other driver, which would happen all the time at Redbull.
Betrayal? In F1? I did not know this was the clown fish club
Yuki can be happy to have a F1 seat at all.
Without Honda backing he wouldn't even be with vcarb.
@scottmeredith3359 snowflake
That’s a fair comment. Seen a lot of unwarranted hate for Liam from people who favour Yuki.

I wonder if Lawson can take out a career insurance policy when Red Bull abandons his driving style forcing him to use the upgrades made for MAX causing Lawson to sink further down the grid and lose team points just like ALL THE OTHER DRIVERS,. No driver should take that job, its career suicide as long as Max is there... Do you think there is a therapy group for Riccardo, Gasly, Albon, and Perez? They are heating up a chair for Lawson now.. The test would have been to sign Carlos Sainz, if he was on Red Bull and failed then it would ALL be on Red Bulls shoulders that all the drivers failed.. They failed the drivers the drivers didn't fail Red Bull in my opinion.
Good luck 🤞
He isn't good enough to beat yuki h2h yet gets the golden ticket. Lmao
he's had a 11 races..he was tapping at Yuki and Yuki has been racing for 4 years in F1. Yuki is a sook with no technical feedback to the team, lacks the mentality.
@@kuiuseyour1980 yes hes had 1 races, so what do you do? put him in the toughest yet best seat on the grid? lol
Working WITH Verstappen? Surely, you mean working FOR Verstappen.
yeah but like ALL the greats as the younger teammate; working with Michael Jordan, Messi, LeBron, Brady . . . .
Big big Mistake Red Bull.
well, it won't last long, like every no.2 driver at redbull.
Li um lawson
racism! yuki been doing better and yet.
then again here brits with one of their commonwealth driver.
How harsh the comment for tsunoda was, yet so soft for riciardo failure and even sent of with grace.
Wont work just another no2 yet not fast enough for sister team yuki is by far better driver than him see him struggling to compete
I think it should have gone to Yuki, but I don't see anyone being "successful" in the #2 RB seat. A finicky car in a toxic environment with the most dominant driver is a recipe for failure.
I feel for Yuki ! In my opinion, he should have that RB seat
Clearly Lawson is no Schumacher/Hamilton/Verstappen, so why has he been shoved into the seat this early when Yuki could of had a season
I wish him well.
RIP Lame Lawson Career . 😂
Well done Liam you deserve it
@@12zulu1 I mean not really but ok
don't*
eh not really hes not even done a whole season in f1 bt yuki is wasting his time at this point
Yuki 6-0s Lawson in qualifying
how lol
The worst choice, enjoy redbull🎉
People need to realise Yuki is a Honda driver. It was Honda influence who got him into red bull and with Honda going to Aston, yuki doesn’t have the big backing at red bull anymore
🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
Telling time will be this time next year,will Lawson still be there! I wouldn’t like to say he will be!😊
Ha ha
Hopefully it goes well!
