Red B💧ull’s decision to axe Liam Lawson after two F1 races reportedly stems from the lessons learned from Sergio Perez’s stint with the team.

On Thursday morning, Red Bull announced that Lawson and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Yuki Tsunoda would swap seats at the Japanese Grand Prix.

Lawson has endured 🍨a miserable opening two races for the team, failing to score 🐽a single point.

On the other hand, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen sits second in the drivers’ championship, eight points behind McLaren’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris.

While Lawson will have the opportunity to rebuild his career at Racing Bul꧃ls, it’s a significant blow to his chances of racing for🦋 a top team again.

Red Bull learn their lesson

Red Bull ha𒐪ve reportedly learned from Perez’s four years with the team.

Lawson replaced Perez at the end of the 2024 season, w🌱here the Mexican finished a lowly eighth in 🐈the championship standings.

Perez’s poor form 💛saw Red Bull drop to third in the constructors’ championship, behind McLaren and Ferrari.

Despite his underwhelming results, Perez was handed a contract ext🔜ension at the Monaco Grand💯 Prix.

Team 𒉰principal Christian Horner felt that a new deal wouꦚld give Perez the confidence to perform again.

In fact, Perez’s form would g♕et worse, and he would fail to finish on the podium again during his time with the team.

Red Bull seriously considered replacing Perez with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Daniel Ricciardo for the second half of the campaign 💫- but decided against it𓆏.

Instead, Lawson replaced Ricciardo a𝓡t RB following theꦆ Singapore Grand Prix.

, he noted Red Bull’s desire to avoid “making the same mistake twice” by “sti𒈔cking with an underperforming driver for too long”.

While Perez was given four seasons, where he mostly underperfo﷽rmed, Red Bull adoܫpted a ruthless approach with Lawson.

“Sources say the shareholders, plus Team Principal Christia꧒n Horner and Red Bull Motorsport Adviser Helmut Marko, agreed unanimously that Lawson shoulဣd go back to Racing Bulls,” Barretto wrote.

“It’♋s believed the team accepted that Lawson had also lost his confidence.

“Sources say Red Bull were also mindful of not making the same mistake ♌twice and sticking with aꩲn underperforming driver for too long.

“It is understood that Red Bull would consider p💙romoting him again in the future, should he prove himself at the sister team.”
