F1 returns to Japan next as Suzuka hosts the Japanese Grand Prix and round three of the 2025 F1 season. Oscar Piastri won the last race in China, as he looks to take the title fight to McLaren teammate Lando Norris, who has an eight-point lead to Max Verstappen in the world championship.

SUZUKA, Japan — Yuki Tsunoda finally has his promotion at Red Bull. That was difficult enough, elevated to the top team last week as Liam Lawson was demoted to Red Bull’s No. 2 Formula 1 team — Racing Bulls — after failing to score points in the season’s first two races.

But following his sudden promotion to the senior Red Bull team last week, Yuki Tsunoda knows he has his long-awaited chance to write a new chapter in Japan’s F1 history. Resumin

Liam Lawson said he was surprised at being demoted by the Red Bull team after only two races of the new season but remained determined to make his mark in Formula One with the junior Racing Bulls team.

Yuki Tsunoda makes his Red Bull debut at his home grand prix in Japan this weekend after Liam Lawson was demoted, so what is it like to come in as a replacement driver?

Liam Lawson says he did not see his demotion by Red Bull coming, after he was dropped by the F1 team after just two races.

Yuki Tsunoda is confident the issues faced by previous Red Bull drivers when competing against Max Verstappen in the same car will not impact him to the same extent.

Max Verstappen said that it “was not a mistake” that he liked an Instagram post criticizing Red Bull’s decision to swap Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda just two races into the new Formula One season.

Max Verstappen has hinted at a future relationship with Honda after the Japanese engine maker's highly successful partnership with Red Bull finishes at the end of the Formula One season.
