BREAKING: Liam Lawson REPLACED by Tsunoda!
BREAKING: Liam Lawson demoted! It was reported this morning that Liam Lawson will be replaced by Yuki Tsunoda. Many had speculated that the Liam Lawson Yuki Tsunoda swap would happen for the Japanese GP but it was not confirmed until now when the story was broken before Red Bull could issue a statement. Will we see a Liam Lawson Red Bull press release in the coming hours or will we have to wait until the 2024 Japanese GP to confirm Yuki Tsunoda’s Red Bull debut?

Hamilton’s shock Belgian GP win and Russell disqualification explained
Mercedes’ delight at a surprise 1-2 at the Belgian Grand Prix quickly turned to anguish after George Russell was disqualified from a hard-fought win. Mercedes winning a Formula 1 race is no longer the absurd fantasy it was a few months ago but its initial one-two in Spa was still unexpected. The shock value of that was quickly surpassed when the stewards threw winner Russell out of the race just hours after the flag, ensuring team-mate Lewis Hamilton won after all. We explain where Mercedes' pace came from and why Russell was disqualified. 0:00 Two big surprises 0:40 What doomed Russell 3:37 Russell's ludicrous strategy 4:59 McLaren falls just short 6:22 Red Bull's stalled victory bid 8:08 Leclerc was overachieving READ MORE HERE: https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/george-russell-doomed-outlier-belgian-gp-mark-hughes/ Subscribe: http://the-race.com/youtube_subscribe Website: http://the-race.com/ Twitter: @wearetherace Instagram: @wearetherace Facebook: http://facebook.com/wearetherace Podcasts: http://the-race.com/podcasts Thanks for watching - please like, share and comment, please also hit subscribe to show your support so we'll keep doing what we're doing. https://www.the-race.com http://www.twitter.com/wearetherace #F1 #Formula 1#FormulaOne #F12024 #F1BelgianGrandPrix #BelgianGrandPrix #F1BelgianGP #GeorgeRussell #Russell #mercedes #LewisHamilton #Hamilton #f1news #formula1driver #totowolff #f1dsq #russelldisqualified
Max Verstappen’s furious wake up call to Red Bull
“Not good enough, too sensitive and also really too slow”. That was Max Verstappen’s damning indictment of the upgraded 2024 Red Bull, during a Hungarian Grand Prix weekend in which he failed to feature in the fight for victory and became embroiled in furious radio exchanges with his own Formula 1 team. Such a crushing defeat never goes down well with someone as ultra-competitive as Verstappen of course, but this happened on an F1 weekend he declared especially important because of the introduction of Red Bull’s biggest upgrade of the season. Verstappen’s frustration has been growing for months, starting long before Oscar Piastri led home McLaren team-mate Lando Norris to take his first grand prix victory. 00:00 Verstappen's Red Bull fury 05:45 What Red Bull changed 07:21 Red Bull's mix and match strategy 08:22 The added pressure of McLaren's rise READ MORE HERE: Subscribe: http://the-race.com/youtube_subscribe Website: http://the-race.com/ Twitter: @wearetherace Instagram: @wearetherace Facebook: http://facebook.com/wearetherace Podcasts: http://the-race.com/podcasts Thanks for watching - please like, share and comment, please also hit subscribe to show your support so we'll keep doing what we're doing. https://www.the-race.com http://www.twitter.com/wearetherace #f1 #formula1 #formulaone #grandprix #f12024 #therace #f1news #redbull #maxverstappen #mclaren #mercedes #lewishamilton #ferrari #hungariangp #hungary #budapest
The evidence that damned Alonso in Russell’s Australian GP crash
You don’t normally see an F1 driver punished for someone crashing behind them without any contact - but Fernando Alonso’s driving in the Australian Grand Prix was penalised for exactly that. Alonso was given a 20-second time penalty for the "unusual manoeuvre" that contributed to George Russell's dramatic last lap accident in Melbourne. What initially looked like Russell shunting on his own in Alonso’s dirty air quickly morphed into something more, as it became clear that Alonso had at least lifted off the throttle on his way into the corner. Unsurprisingly this became very divisive very quickly. Was it a brake test? Or was it just classic, ‘wily’ Alonso doing an age-old trick of making the car behind check up - and Russell just got caught out? 0:00 Intro 1:13 What damned Alonso 3:02 Alonso bites back 4:54 But... he's wrong 6:58 Why this penalty?

Lewis Hamilton's stunning Ferrari F1 switch explained
Lewis Hamilton will make a stunning switch to Ferrari for 2025 in one of F1’s biggest driver moves ever. Hamilton only signed a new two-year Mercedes deal last summer, that was meant to cover 2024 and 2025. Which is one of many reasons this is such a big surprise. But it turns out that new contract included a release clause for 2025 that Hamilton has chosen to activate before even driving the 2024 Mercedes in reality. We didn’t see this coming and Mercedes didn’t either, based on the hurried meeting that was held at Brackley on Thursday afternoon to inform staff. 0:00 Hamilton's shock Ferrari move 2:51 Why Ferrari? 4:55 A gut punch for Mercedes 6:32 Who will replace Hamilton? 9:14 The consequences at Ferrari Subscribe: http://the-race.com/youtube_subscribe Website: http://the-race.com/ Twitter: @wearetherace Instagram: @wearetherace Facebook: http://facebook.com/wearetherace Podcasts: http://the-race.com/podcasts Thanks for watching - please like, share and comment, please also hit subscribe to show your support so we'll keep doing what we're doing. https://www.the-race.com http://www.twitter.com/wearetherace #f1 #formulaone #formula1 #lewishamilton #ferrari #mercedes #f12024
Guenther Steiner’s bombshell Haas F1 exit explained
One of F1’s most popular and longest-serving team bosses, Guenther Steiner, has left his role in charge of Haas. It’s a shock move that poses serious questions about the team’s prospects and future. It’s almost unthinkable to imagine Haas without Steiner, as while the team bears the name of its owner Gene Haas, this was really Steiner F1 in all but name. Steiner was the man who made F1’s strangest team set-up possible and became an unexpected star of the Netflix Drive to Survive series. Steiner’s departure, with former director of engineering Ayao Komatsu taking over as team principal, has surprised almost everybody in F1. BUT there has been discontent bubbling away for some time now, and the situation had been coming to a head behind the scenes. Now, Steiner’s gone, and technical director Simone Resta is understood to be out as well. There were frustrations with the way that Haas was run from the very top, and that means eponymous team owner Gene Haas, who has seemingly become apathetic towards his own F1 team and refused to invest in it. Steiner and Haas disagreed on the team’s potential in its current form. While Steiner felt Haas needed steady investment over the next few years, as it had outgrown its unique multi-location, Ferrari-dependent model, Gene Haas believes the team has underachieved and does not need more resources or improved facilities to perform better.

Why Daniel Ricciardo is suddenly a serious threat to Sergio Perez in F1
Daniel Ricciardo might be back to his best in Formula 1, and starting to show he could get a Red Bull Racing return after all. Ricciardo was performing at a Red Bull level at the Mexican Grand Prix - literally. He qualified alongside Max Verstappen AND outpaced Sergio Perez, which is as much of a statement as it’s possible to make in an AlphaTauri. ESPECIALLY as Ricciardo followed that up with a strong seventh place in the grand prix, running ahead of several faster cars for a lot of it and passing every test of his racecraft, tyre management and pace, while Perez completely imploded and wiped himself out at the first corner. And this is about much more than a single result. It’s what made such a performance possible, the reasons to believe it’s sustainable, how much life it breathes into Ricciardo’s post-McLaren renaissance and the fact he looks like he really COULD be what Red Bull needs from Verstappen’s future team-mate. 00:00 Ricciardo shines 02:00 What changed? 03:51 What's now working 06:33 Why it's significant 08:31 Made for Netflix Subscribe: http://the-race.com/youtube_subscribe Website: http://the-race.com/ Twitter: @wearetherace Instagram: @wearetherace Facebook: http://facebook.com/wearetherace Podcasts: http://the-race.com/podcasts Thanks for watching - please like, share and comment, please also hit subscribe to show your support so we'll keep doing what we're doing. https://www.the-race.com http://www.twitter.com/wearetherace #f1 #danielricciardo #sergioperez #redbull #f1news #mexicogp #mexicangp #ricciardo #formula1 #perez #checo #f12023 #f12024 #formulaone #alphatauri #redbullf1 #redbullracing
