Yuki Tsunoda remains onboard at Racing Bulls for a fifth season in 2025 after being overlooked for Red Bull promotion, with the less experienced Liam Lawson instead being backed by Red Bull management to take up the difficult second seat alongside Max Verstappen.
Ever since he was originally announced for 2025, at the Canadian Grand Prix weekend, the 24-year-old has been adamant he is ready for Red Bull promotion and more deserving than other candidates. His record against Daniel Ricciardo and then Lawson would support that, scoring 30 of the 46 points earned by RB and being the lead driver in 18 qualifying sessions.
