A number of drivers enter the 2025 F1 season under pressure – but who does this F1 champion believe will be the first driver to exit the grid?
1997 F1 champion Jacques Villeneuve predicts Yuki Tsunoda will be the first driver to be dropped from the grid this year. Tsunoda is entering his fifth F1 season with the Red Bull sister team, alongside rookie Isack Hadjar. Despite hopes for a promotion, Tsunoda was overlooked for Liam Lawson, who will partner Max Verstappen at Red Bull. Villeneuve believes Tsunoda will leave Racing Bulls after this season, with limited options for where he may go next. While Tsunoda has been linked with Aston Martin, his future in F1 remains uncertain due to his ties with Honda.
