Yuki Tsunoda is taking full responsibility for his poor performance at the Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix, acknowledging that the issues were all his own doing, even amidst criticism over his struggles to match his teammate Max Verstappen’s performance levels.
Scoring just seven points in nine races following his promotion to Red Bull Racing, Tsunoda faced additional challenges during the Austrian Grand Prix where he finished 16th and last, blaming himself for a lack of ideal racecraft and pace.
Despite his difficulties, Tsunoda maintains that he feels the support and backing of Red Bull team principal Christian Horner and advisor Helmut Marko, who have expressed confidence in his ability and commitment to improve throughout the season.
Acknowledging the need to enhance his long-run performance and overall confidence level, Tsunoda is focused on refining his skills and working closely with the team to address his weaknesses and deliver better results in the upcoming races.
Marko’s public statement affirming Tsunoda’s position within the team for the remainder of the year has provided a sense of stability and support for the young driver, who remains determined to prove his capabilities and repay the faith shown in him by Red Bull’s leadership.
