Red Bull are set to replace Liam Lawson with Yuki Tsunoda after just two races of the Formula 1 season from next week’s Japanese Grand Prix.

Lawson will return to Racing Bulls - the company's junior team - from the Suzuka race in a straight swap with Tsunoda after a difficult start at Red Bull as Max Verstappen's team-mate.

Red Bull have not commented and no official announcement is expected on Wednesday.
