Red Bull handed decisive outcome in driver swap debate

It has been a rough ride for Yuki Tsunoda since he was promoted to Red Bull just two grands prix into the season. Tsunoda started the year coming to terms with the fact that despite his considerable experience in comparison to Liam Lawson, his team-mate for the final six races with RB last season, Red Bull opted to promote the New Zealander over him as a replacement for Sergio Perez. Lawson, however, survived for just the first two rounds in Australia and China before Red Bull took the controversial decision to demote him back to Racing Bulls, and bring in Tsunoda. After 10 races with the senior team, the Japanese driver has scored a miserable seven points, all in his first five grands prix with Red Bull as he has drawn a complete blank in the last five. It is the first time since Mark Webber in 2009 that a Red Bull driver has failed to score a point in five consecutive races. On that basis, we at RacingNews365 recently asked the question whether Red Bull should carry out another driver swap this year. With a decisive 55 per cent of the vote, you decided that another swap would not change anything, an understandable decision in light of the RB21's handling in the hands of another driver other than Max Verstappen. Tsunoda remarked recently that the car has the narrowest opening window he has been subjected to in his four and a half years in F1, underlining why he is unable to conjure any results. On the flipside, 42.7 per cent voted that Red Bull should go ahead as it has nothing to lose, again valid as why not experiment with another driver over the second half of the season or at least after the summer break. Should Lawson be recalled? Would Isack Hadjar be a better bet given his fine performances for Racing Bull this season? With no clear answer, it is perhaps why 2.3 per cent of you said you were unsure.
