Of course, it is the correct decision, but Lawson should never have been in the Red Bull in the first place.

Assume Tsunoda and Lawson results at the end of 2025 would be comparable. Further assume, as reported, that Honda will pay big bucks to see Tsunoda in the first team car, and extra $$, or only $$, if he's in for Japan. Easy decision.
