Motorsport: Huge pressure on Tsunoda in weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix

# Motorsport: Yuki Tsunoda replacing New Zealander Liam Lawson as Red Bull’s second driver has reportedly changed the dynamic of the weekend’s Japanese Formula One Grand Prix in Suzuka. Tsunoda, the only local driver on the grid, will face immense pressure after Lawson was demoted to Red Bull’s second team, Racing Bulls, after just two races. Tsunoda describes his first race for Red Bull, his debut with the car and his home Grand Prix as a crazy situation. McLaren won the first two races of the season.
