Is the writing on the wall for Yuki Tsunoda following another tough race in Mexico?
Sky Sports F1 pundit Jamie Chadwick believes that Yuki Tsunoda’s relationship with Red Bull is “already sort of broken” after a challenging weekend in Mexico. Tsunoda’s race was impacted by a slow 12-second pit stop, resulting in him finishing outside the points. Despite starting on mediums and later switching to softs like teammate Max Verstappen, Tsunoda struggled with battling other cars and faced disappointment post-race. Jacques Villeneuve noted Tsunoda’s apparent frustration and avoidance of responsibility, hinting at a potential exit from Red Bull. The decision on Tsunoda’s future will be postponed until after the season ends, with Isack Hadjar expected to replace him due to consistent performances compared to Liam Lawson. Tsunoda’s lack of performance for the senior team may lead him to seek a reserve driver role for the 2026 season.
