Yuki Tsunoda has been spotted in a Red Bull for the first time since his promotion to the Milton Keynes-based team was announced.
It was confirmed on Thursday morning by the Austrian outfit that Tsunoda and Liam Lawson would swap seats from next weekend's Japanese Grand Prix.
As a result, Tsunoda will partner Max Verstappen in Red Bull colours starting from his home race, whilst Lawson has returned to Racing Bulls to partner Isack Hadjar.
The timing of the switch is fitting for Tsunoda, with Red Bull also set to run a special livery in Suzuka to thank Honda for a successful relationship.
Ahead of his competitive Red Bull debut, Tsunoda has been busy getting to know the team, with Red Bull having posted a video of the Japanese driver jumping into a car for what appears to be a seat fit.

The mistake was moving Lawson up to Red Bull in the first place. They should have left him at Racing Bulls for a season.
