It’s been a wild fortnight for Liam Lawson, as the Kiwi driver was sensationally demoted from Red Bull’s main team back to Visa Cash App Racing Bulls. It’s been the biggest story in F1, especially considering he finds himself back at the track that he knows best due to his time driving there before his callup to the big time. It will be fascinating to not only follow his progress in the race, but also Yuki Tsunoda, the hometown driver who took Lawson’s place in the Red Bull car alongside Max Verstappen.

Racing is scheduled to start at 5pm NZT.
