Tsunoda admits Red Bull NOT happy with his performance
Red Bull driver Yuki Tsunoda admits his performances in F1 this year have failed to impress the team management. In a surprising move in 2025, Tsunoda was brought up to Red Bull’s main team after just two races.
This decision came after Liam Lawson was deemed unfit to be Max Verstappen’s teammate, following a similar quick promotion and demotion cycle involving Sergio Perez.
Red Bull’s struggles with finding a strong second driver have reflected in their current fourth place in the constructors’ standings, heavily reliant on Verstappen’s points.
Tsunoda, facing pressure to step up his game, finished last in recent races and must show improvement alongside the reigning champion. Despite difficulties, Tsunoda highlights support from key figures like Helmut Marko and Christian Horner.
With Horner’s recent dismissal and Laurent Mekies stepping in, there might be a chance for Tsunoda to revitalize his performances and prove his worth at Red Bull.
