I first read Liam Neeson and I was like wtf is this, April 1st?
And here is Guardian jumping the horse again, a clickbait-ish title:
Liam Lawson gets F1 chance to replace Pérez alongside Verstappen at Red Bullwhile in the article you have this tiny line
“Obviously we’ve got a contract with Sergio for next year,” Horner said.
I think RB should put their priorities straight, they first need a car, and a car cost money, Perez is bringing a ton of money, if you can't make a world champion out of your best pilot throwing away the financial aspect for a new pilot while the team is in distress sounds like ignoring the obvious and trying to find a macical cure for everything that won't obviously do a thing.
Also, this:

Max Verstappen is not the problem and I think that is proven for many races in many events.
Red Bull F1 gap to McLaren a ‘whole new world’ – Helmut Markohttps://www.motorsportweek.com/2024/10/05/red-bull-f1-gap-to-mclaren-a-whole-new-world-helmut-marko/Lando Norris controlled proceedings at the previous round in Singapore as he converted pole position into a considerable 21-second winning margin over Verstappen.
McLaren has emerged as the benchmark side this season and three victories in four races since the summer break has seen it displace Red Bull in the championship.
It's too obvious what is happening, McLaren made some good upgrades and I think RB cannot keep up.
Red Bull’s struggles reached a “low point” at Monza as Verstappen described his RB20 as being a “monster” as he bemoaned experiencing problems with the balance.
I don't know if this is the real problem.
Marko stressed that Verstappen’s warnings should not be underestimated, particularly in light of the Dutch driver’s strong character and unwavering principles.
"Max has to be taken seriously," Marko stated. "Max has achieved an awful lot. But for him, it’s important that he still has the passion and fun in the sport. If that’s increasingly being taken away from him, knowing his character...when he says, ‘Okay, that’s it’, he really means it."
