Yuki Tsunoda admitted that he found comfort in seeing Red Bull team-mate Max Verstappen struggle along with him in being eliminated in Q2 at the Formula 1 Mexico City Grand Prix. Despite being just 0.012 seconds behind Isack Hadjar, Tsunoda missed out on a Q3 spot by ending up 11th fastest. Tsunoda’s performance was more than two tenths behind Verstappen, who finished fifth in Mexico, ending his recent strong showing. This was Tsunoda’s third consecutive failure to reach Q3, with both drivers facing similar challenges with grip and mechanical issues. Tsunoda needs to capitalize on starting inside the top 10 due to Carlos Sainz’s grid penalty to secure points and secure his spot in the Red Bull team for the future. Red Bull has yet to announce the driver line-ups for both the main team and their satellite squad Racing Bulls for the upcoming seasons, leaving Tsunoda uncertain about his future with the team.
