F1 LIVE: Liam Lawson ‘destroyed’ by Helmut Marko as Max Verstappen left rattled

The two-week break between races in China and Japan has been dominated by Red Bull swapping out Liam Lawson for Yuki Tsunoda. A disastrous start for the Kiwi convinced team bosses to make the brutal change two races into the new season as they go in search of the Constructors’ Championship.
A closed door for Lawson means an open one for Tsunoda, who now has a massive chance to prove he can hang in there with Max Verstappen in Red Bull’s second seat. Meanwhile, the McLaren duo of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri may be enjoying a quiet few days out of the spotlight, in the knowledge that their title bids are ticking along nicely.
