“This is a guy whose Formula 1 career is hanging by a thread at the moment, and it doesn’t look like to me that he’s going to carry on beyond the end of this year.”
Yuki Tsunoda’s F1 career is in jeopardy after a challenging Austrian Grand Prix where he finished in 16th place, last among classified finishers. Tsunoda struggled at the Red Bull Ring, being lapped twice, and receiving a 10-second time penalty for a collision. Despite showing potential with a ninth-place finish in Bahrain, Tsunoda has faced difficulties adapting to the RB21 like his predecessor Liam Lawson. Red Bull had a tough weekend overall, with Max Verstappen suffering his first DNF of the season. Red Bull’s team principal, Christian Horner, has shifted focus away from the championship due to the recent setbacks. BBC F1 journalist Andrew Benson raised concerns about Tsunoda’s future in Formula 1, suggesting his position at Red Bull beyond this year is uncertain.
