Helmut Marko explains Yuki Tsunoda’s improvement at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix
Helmut Marko attributed Yuki Tsunoda’s strong performance at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix to a “different approach.” Tsunoda had his best weekend as a Red Bull F1 driver in Baku, qualifying and finishing sixth, his highest position since replacing Liam Lawson. Despite a potential for a better result, Tsunoda struggled to stay ahead of Lawson after a pit lane exit. Tsunoda’s progress aligns with Max Verstappen’s recent success, having secured consecutive F1 victories. Marko highlighted the coaching and car setup adjustments made for Tsunoda after analyzing his performance compared to Verstappen. Tsunoda’s improved showing comes at a crucial time as he competes for his future at Red Bull amidst speculations of being replaced by Isack Hadjar in 2026.
