“Yuki Tsunoda in Red Bull: What does his appointment mean by a reserve pilot mean?”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
Thus, Louson will become Max Ferstappen’s partner in 2025, and Tsunoda will spend the fifth season in the junior team. At the same time, it will act as an official Red Bull reserve random, which means that in the case of disqualification or injury of Ferstapen or Lawson, Tsunoda will replace them in the race.
Before the new season, Ferstapppen has eight penalty points. His first penalty points will be canceled after Austria Grand Prix in June, so he will have 11 races, having only four points before disqualification.
If Tsunoda is called to Red Bull or if he or his new partner on Racing Bulls Isak Hadjar will be disqualified or injured, the team will invite Ivas Ayum as a backup racer. Ivas has the necessary 40 points of the Super Licenses due to the results in formula-2 and super formula. He also advocated Racing Bulls in the first practice (FP1) at the Grand Prix of Japan and Abu Dhabi in 2024, and also participated in post-season tests.
