Red Bull’s 2023 F1 seat battle intensifies as Montoya predicts Tsunoda’s exit
The battle for Red Bull's 2023 Formula 1 seats is heating up. Both Liam Lawson and Isack Hadjar are impressing, making the decision tougher. Meanwhile, ex-F1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya weighs in, suggesting a 90% chance Helmut Marko would replace Yuki Tsunoda if he were in charge.
Montoya believes political ties could keep Tsunoda in his seat despite his improvements. He also hints at Red Bull Austria seeking more control over team decisions, influencing the seat battle. The final decision, however, lies with Red Bull, who have kept their reasons unclear. Meanwhile, Arvid Lindblad is tipped to move up to a Red Bull seat.
With Lawson, Hadjar, and Lindblad pushing for seats, and Tsunoda's future uncertain due to political factors, the Red Bull driver line-up for 2023 remains in flux. The final decision, expected after the Brazilian Grand Prix, will shape the team's future.
