Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has teased that a decision on VCARB’s second F1 driver will be anಞnounced following the Singapore G♓rand Prix.

The identity of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda’s teammate for the 2025 F1 season is still unclear with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson the main two candidates.

Ricciardo has generally been out-performed by Tsunoda this year, even though he Australian was viewed as the likelier of the two to replace 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez mid-season if Red Bu💫ll de𓂃cided they wanted to make a change during the summer break.

Now, Red Bul🧸l have a decision to make between Ricciardo or Lawson.

Lawson impressed during his short staཧnd-in stint lastꦫ year, ironically, in place of Ricciardo.

Ricciardo has been unde𓆉rwhelmi♔ng on the whole but has steadily improved throughout the year.

However, with Lawso✱n waiting on the sidelines, Isack Hadjar impressing in F2, and Arvid Lindblad - anoth💙er junior - who’s impressing, opening up a seat at VCARB could be beneficial for the Red Bull programme.

Speaking to Viaplay, Marko said: “We have an idea, so just wait until Singapore. It's still September and then weꦿ'll have a clear picture.

“It will become clear there what will happen.”

Marko has reiterated 🌌previously that Lawson will be driving for one of Red Bull’s teams in 2025.

If Ricciardo is replaced 🐈for next year🍌, it would leave him without a drive in F1.

One potential vacancy is Sauber, whic💮h is still yet to decide between Valtteri Bottas or McLaren junior Gabriel Bortoleto.

Mattia Bin🐎otto is expected to make a🐼 decision in the coming weeks though.

Bottas has failed to score a single point i🐼n 2024 - but that’s down to Sauber’s poor level ✃of performance.

Bortoleto would be a more exciting option and sits top of🧜 the F2 standin꧟gs after Baku.
