Will Lawson Swap Permanently with Tsunoda?

Liam Lawson is set to return to Racing Bulls, Red Bull's junior team, in a swap with Yuki Tsunoda, but the current reports suggest this move is intended to be permanent rather than just for the Japanese Grand Prix.

The swap is expected to occur starting from the Japanese Grand Prix, with Lawson moving back to Racing Bulls and Tsunoda taking his place alongside Max Verstappen at Red Bull 2 4 8.

While there is no official confirmation from Red Bull on the permanence of the move, the reports indicate that Lawson will be returning to Racing Bulls as part of a broader team strategy rather than a temporary measure for a single race 8.

The decision reflects Red Bull's desire to improve their performance and competitiveness, particularly given Lawson's challenging start to the season 1 6.

Therefore, it appears that Lawson's return to Racing Bulls is intended to be a more long-term arrangement rather than a temporary swap for just the Japanese Grand Prix, with no official announcement yet.
