Red Bull is back in the headlines after a rather brutal seat swap involving Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda. 23-year-old Lawson managed just two races alongside four-time World Champion Max Verstappen and, after two disappointing race weekends in Australia and China, has been demoted back down to Racing Bulls for the remainder of 2025.
