Racing Bulls Team Principal Laurent Mekies is ready to see “another step” from Yuki Tsunoda during the 2025 F1 campaign.
In 2024, Tsunoda showed significant improvement as a driver, outperforming his teammates. However, Red Bull chose Liam Lawson to partner Max Verstappen for the 2025 season, leaving Tsunoda with the Racing Bulls team for another year. Despite this decision, Tsunoda is positive about the opportunity to develop his leadership skills within the team. Team principal Mekies praised Tsunoda’s progress and sees him as the team’s leader for the upcoming season. Tsunoda embraces this role and aims to build on his performance from the previous year, focusing on continuous improvement and maintaining competitiveness in a highly challenging field.
