Red Bull, Yuki Tsunoda-Liam Lawson: Helmut Marko sets deadline
After the conclusion of the 2024 season that saw Max Verstappen win his fourth consecutive title, Red Bull è already at work ahead of 2025 where the main issue to be unraveled will be to define the Dutchman's teammate, since the confirmation of Sergio Perez would be decidedly unlikely. In names that would be circulating for quite some time to replace the Mexican would be those of Yuki Tsunoda and Liam Lawson. On the topic è also returned Austrian team adviser Helmut Marko, who provided a valuable update during an interview with "Speedweek".
"Regarding Red Bull’s line-up for 2025 we will announce news already in the coming days. Various speculations are circulating on this issue, including some regarding alleged transfer penalties, but I can assure that they are absolutely unfounded" began the former Austrian driver.
" Yuki drove the RB20 in testing and the team è was very pleased with his technical guidance. On this aspect è he is far better than we thought. He è one of the many talents we have and è an example of how well our nursery is working" added the Graz native.
"It's a nice gratification that, after a long time without any change, several promising rookies can show what they are capable of. Next year we will have Bortoleto who won F2, as well as Bearman and Antonelli. If we were to promote one of our junior drivers to Racing Bulls, it would bring the number of rookies next season to four.
Should Red Bull decide to promote one between Yuki Tsunoda and Liam Lawson, the Faenza-based team would have to promote Isack Hadjar to a starting driver.
