Yuki Tsunoda sees the positives following another tough race for Red Bull in Las Vegas
Yuki Tsunoda feels that his performance in practice sessions compared to Max Verstappen demonstrates his progress, despite a challenging weekend at the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Although he struggled in qualifying due to blamed tyre pressure issues, Tsunoda believes he showed promising speed earlier in the weekend, even outpacing Verstappen in some sessions. The Japanese driver started from the pit lane but found it difficult to move up the field during the race, facing challenges in dirty air and traffic. Tsunoda expressed frustration over missed opportunities in qualifying but remains optimistic about his improving pace. However, Red Bull has not yet confirmed their 2026 driver line-ups, with Tsunoda expected to be replaced by Isack Hadjar, potentially leaving him without a seat on the grid.
