The team have dropped Liam Lawson after just two grands prix, and instead replaced him with Yuki Tsunoda, with the 24-year-old set to make his Red Bull debut at his home race.

Tsunoda has been with Red Bull's sister squad Racing Bulls for four full seasons, but now will team up with Max Verstappen at the main team, having missed out on a promotion at the end of 2024.

Despite all of the turmoil at Red Bull, Verstappen did manage to secure a stunning pole position on Saturday in Suzuka, and will lead the two McLarens away at the start of the race.
