After the Hungary GP, it is clear which teams and drivers are going to perform in the championship and the upcoming races. During this season, there were two mid-season driver changes in Red Bull Racing and Alpine. A decision taken by teams to ensure their progress in the championship.<\/p><p>At the Japanese Grand Prix, Red Bull Racing made a swap between Yuki Tsunoda and Liam Lawson. Lawson, racing for Red Bull Racing, was demoted back to Racing Bulls owing to his failures in the previous Grand Prix. Same way, Jack Doohan ended up getting demoted from his seat at Alpine in favor of Franco Colapinto. Colapinto, initially racing on a five-race contract from the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, will spend the entire season with Alpine. Similarly, Red Bull Racing chose to opt Yuki Tsunoda for completing the 2025 season.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yuki Tsunoda- Is the Japanese Driver Faring Better or Worse Than Liam Lawson?<\/h2><p>There was a lot of hype surrounding Yuki Tsunoda since the pre-season in 2025. When Sergio P&eacute;rez was going to depart from the team, it was clear that Tsunoda would be the first choice. Instead, Yuki Tsunoda was going to stay at Racing Bulls for the 2025 season. Liam Lawson, who was partnering the Japanese driver in Racing Bulls, became Perez&rsquo;s replacement in 2025.<\/p><p>Unfortunately for Liam Lawson, he was not able to achieve any results in the first two races of the season. This led to his prompt removal from the team. Yuki Tsunoda was brought in as his replacement for the rest of the season.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\"I had no idea in China\"<br><br>Here's Liam Lawson on when he found out about his demotion from Red Bull Racing &#128071;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/F1?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#F1<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/JapaneseGP?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#JapaneseGP<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OppHqmChMK\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/OppHqmChMK<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Formula 1 (@F1) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/F1\/status\/1907664358118678836?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>April 3, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>While the move was celebrated initially, it led to almost no results for the upcoming races. Since his arrival in the team, Tsunoda has never once seen the Top-5. Moreover, the Japanese driver finds it difficult to bring home points during the race.<\/p><p>The sudden swap also took a toll on Liam Lawson&rsquo;s confidence. Liam was initially unable to perform at the Racing Bulls failing to score better than rookie, Isack Hadjar. However, in the recent races he has been gaining his form back.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Liam Lawson vs Yuki Tsunoda H2H- After Driver Swap<\/h3><figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><strong>Liam Lawson<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Yuki Tsunoda<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Points<\/strong><\/td><td>20<\/td><td>10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Top-10s<\/strong><\/td><td>4<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Best Race Finish<\/strong><\/td><td>P6<\/td><td>P9<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Best Qualifying Finish<\/strong><\/td><td>P6<\/td><td>P7<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Franco Colapinto- Is the Argentine any Better than Jack Doohan?<\/h2><p>Franco Colapinto was Williams&rsquo; one hit wonder during the 2025 season. The Argentine driver was able to grab some quick points for the team replacing Logan Sergeant in the past few races of the 2024 season. Seeing his performance, Alpine made him their reserve driver for the 2025 season. However, contrary to popular belief Alpine went forth with Jack Doohan in their starting lineup.<\/p><p>Initially, Jack Doohan was unable to bring forth results for the team. He was also crashing out his car more than acceptable by Alpine. With a ruthless team principal like Flavio Briatore, Doohan was not going to stay at the team for long.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BREAKING: Franco Colapinto to race at least the next five races for Alpine in place of Jack Doohan<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/F1?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#F1<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/HLarDPmYP8\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/HLarDPmYP8<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Formula 1 (@F1) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/F1\/status\/1920011412618821792?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>May 7, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>The team immediately subbed him after six races.
