RB: Tsunoda “mentally on a different level” in 2024
The Japanese driver, Yuki Tsunoda, has impressed by qualifying in the top 10 for the last three races, even surpassing his more experienced teammate, Daniel Ricciardo. Securing a seventh-place finish in Australia was aided by retirements of key competitors and a penalty for Fernando Alonso. Tsunoda showcased his skill further at his home race in Suzuka, finishing 10th after a remarkable recovery and strategic pitstop. His performance was praised for embodying the “samurai spirit” and achieving a milestone for local drivers. Tsunoda’s mental growth and physical progress have been highlighted as crucial factors in his recent success on the track. Despite outqualifying Lance Stroll consistently, Red Bull is cautious about predicting continued success against the top teams.
