Lawson expected to get the 2025 Red Bull nod over Colapinto and Tsunoda
Liam Lawson appears to be on pole for Red Bull Racing promotion in the 2025 Formula 1 season after the team's interest in Franco Colapinto cooled. Despite signing a two-year contract extension earlier this year, Red Bull appears to have finally given up on Sergio Perez being able to turn his woeful form around, with the team hinting it will drop the Mexican following the season finale in Abu Dhabi.
But along with the drop in prize money Perez's struggles have led to, Marko acknowledged slumping to third in the constructors' championship has also caused staff at Milton Keynes to miss out on substantial bonuses, which has dented factory morale. It is therefore thought that Red Bull's decision will be based on who it believes has the best potential to make an immediate impact and score as many points on a consistent basis.
