P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Yuki Tsunoda is reportedly in the frame to replace Lance Stroll at Aston Martin, if a reported sale of the team materialises.
According to F1-Insider, a Saudi Arabian-based fund has expressed interest in purchasing the F1 team from Lawrence Stroll, with a potential price tag of at least $800m. Stroll has had a difficult season as Fernando Alonso’s teammate, recently making negative headlines for pushing his trainer after a poor qualifying performance. The report suggests that Yuki Tsunoda is being considered for a future seat at Aston Martin if new owners take over. Tsunoda, a Red Bull junior driver, is sponsored by Honda and was recently confirmed to retain his AlphaTauri drive in the 2024 F1 driver lineup. However, if Aston Martin were to show interest in Tsunoda as early as next year, they would need to reach an agreement with Red Bull first, according to Red Bull consultant Helmut Marko.
