Lawson has been dumped by Red Bull chiefs after failing to get to grips with the RB21 during the Australian and Chinese Grand Prixs.
He crashed out of the Aussie GP and could only muster a 15th-place finish in Shanghai, displays which have ultimately led to Red Bull wielding the axe.
An excerpt of a Red Bull statement read: “Red Bull are in the unique position of having four seats on the Formula One grid, across Oracle Red Bull Racing and Visa Cash App Racing Bulls.
“And as such, the Team have made the decision to exercise a driver rotation, that will see Yuki partner current and four-time World Champion, Max Verstappen.”
Tsunoda will be given a baptism of fire on home soil as he’ll officially replace Lawson at the Japanese Grand Prix.
