2 Soft Compounds - From Hero to Zero: Lawson's Axing and Tsunoda's Big Break at Suzuka
🚨 Red Bull chaos! On this week’s 2 Soft Compounds, Rick Houghton and Paul Velasco unpack and offer their thoughts on the shock mid-season driver swap that’s rocked the paddock. Liam Lawson is out after just two races, and Yuki Tsunoda is promoted — just in time for his home Grand Prix at Suzuka.
👀 The guys pull no punches on how they think Red Bull handled the situation plus they revisit the infamous curse of the Red Bull second seat. Why do so many talented drivers struggle alongside Max Verstappen? And can Tsunoda break the cycle?
🔥 There's also a full Japanese Grand Prix preview and the usual no-holds-barred banter - this is 2 Soft Compounds!
