P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Yuki Tsunoda could yet find himself behind the wheel of a Red Bull in 2025, thanks to a new role with the team.
Yuki Tsunoda has been named as the official Red Bull reserve driver for the 2025 F1 season by RacingNews365. Despite being a contender to replace Sergio Perez, Liam Lawson was chosen as Max Verstappen’s teammate instead. Tsunoda will continue in the junior team for a fifth season, but there is still a chance he may race for Red Bull this season. As the reserve driver, Tsunoda will step in if Verstappen or Lawson are unable to race. If needed, Ayumu Iwasa, who has 40 super-licence points, will step in as the reserve driver. Iwasa’s experience includes FP1 driving for Racing Bulls in the 2024 Japanese and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix.
