All focus is on the Japanese Grand Prix as Max Verstappen looks to put down a marker with a statement performance following his sensational record-breaking qualifying lap yesterday. The Red Bull ace, against the odds, took pole ahead of title rival Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.
It has been a very difficult opening to the campaign for Red Bull and Verstappen, with both McLaren and even Mercedes showing superior pace than them, while Christian Horner’s outfit have also dominated headlines following their ruthless decision to axe Liam Lawson after just two races.
Yuki Tsunoda was confirmed as Lawson’s replacement instead, and it couldn’t be a more special occasion for the Japanese star as he makes his debut for Red Bull at his home circuit in Sukuza.
