Lawson over Tsunoda?

All signs poi❀nt to Red Bull giving Lawson the promotion alongside Max Verstappen instead of Tsunoda.

Lawson’s immediate ♔ability to adapt 🌄to life in F1 has impressed F1 bosses, including his desire to dice with the likes of Fernando Alonso on track.

Tsunoda has performed well since Pierre Gasly’s departure at the end of 2022, outperforming Lawson, Daniꦰel Ricciardo and Nyck de Vries.

The Japanese driver claime💙d ꦬRed Bull were impressed by his technical feedback in the post-season Abu Dhabi test.

Howꦏever, his strong form combined with a promi🍰sing test seemingly hasn’t been enough to earn a promotion to the main team.

Tsunoda is set for a fifth season with RB, likely alongside Formula 2 runner-up Is🧸ack Hadjar.
