Liam Lawson is definitively sidelined by Red Bull Racing after just two races. From the Japanese Grand Prix onwards, Yuki Tsunoda is Max Verstappen’s new teammate.

I don’t think so. Some drivers do testing work for multiple teams, like in the last couple of years Bearman did for Ferrari & Haas, Giovannazzi did for Ferrari & Alfa Romeo, or Lawson did for RBR & RB, etc.
If say Alpine offered Hamilton a test drive, I think nothing in the regulations would hinder him from accepting that offer. In reality Alpine wouldn’t do that however.
Hmm, maybe you’re right, I was thinking along the lines of data-sharing being illegal between rival teams, but drivers testing for different teams may actually be allowed. In this case of RBR and VCARB, it just feels very fishy to me.
Thanks for pointing this out.
