Liam Lawson comes to grips with Red Bull F1 demotion

From Sunday Morning, 8:53 am on 30 March 2025

With the Japanese Grand Prix set to take place on Sunday evening, Red Bull have announced that Kiwi driver Liam Lawson will be replaced on the team by Yuki Tsunoda – a move that seems to have irked number one driver Max Verstappen. 

Motorsport expert and former McLaren F1 team member Bob McMurray joins Jim to discuss the decision.
