Liam Lawson 'shocked' by Red Bull demotion after two races

Liam Lawson expressed his shock at being demoted by Red Bull after just two races, describing the decision as unexpected and disappointing. Despite struggling with performance in Australia and China, he felt he needed more time to adapt to the challenging RB21 car. Red Bull's decision to replace him with Yuki Tsunoda, who will now partner with Max Verstappen, highlights the team's reputation for making swift changes in their driver lineup. Lawson's demotion is seen as a stark reminder of the cutthroat nature of Formula One, where even talented drivers can be quickly sidelined. While Lawson acknowledges his rocky start, he believes familiarity with upcoming tracks could have helped his performance. The racing community remains divided on whether the decision was justified so early in the season.
