Marko confirms decision surrounding Tsunoda’s Red Bull F1 future
Red Bull F1 chief Helmut Marko confirmed a decision on Yuki Tsunoda’s future will be made after the Mexican GP, as the Japanese racer’s underwhelming season has put his position in F1 in doubt.
Tsunoda’s struggles in the 2025 season, being far behind teammate Max Verstappen in points, have led to speculation about his potential replacement, with Racing Bulls driver Isack Hadjar being considered for the seat.
Despite a strong showing at the US Grand Prix, Tsunoda’s future at Red Bull is uncertain, with prospects like F2 star Alex Dunne and British racer Arvid Lindblad also being watched by Marko and the team.
The upcoming 2026 season, with new regulations shaping the sport, raises the question of whether a rookie driver is the right choice for Red Bull, with Tsunoda’s experience potentially serving as a crucial asset.
With the pressure mounting on Tsunoda to deliver strong performances in the remaining races, his future in F1 hangs in the balance pending the team’s decision after the Mexican GP.
