Helmut Marko says Liam Lawson’s damaged self-confidence is the reason he was axed after just two races but insists his replacement Yuki Tsunoda will be given until the end of the season to prove himself.

Lawson was promoted from Racing Bulls, ahead of Tsunoda, to replace Sergio Perez for the 2025 season after just 11 races in Formula One.
