Red Bull boss Christian Horner has claimed the team’s F1 car is “not that difficult” to drive as Yuki Tsunoda’s woes continued at the Austrian GP.
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner claimed that the team’s Formula 1 car is “not that difficult” to drive amid Yuki Tsunoda’s ongoing struggles at the Austrian Grand Prix. Tsunoda, trailing two laps down, had a disappointing race, finishing as the final classified runner at Red Bull’s home event. Despite being relatively close to Max Verstappen’s pace in Q1, Tsunoda failed to advance and started the race from 18th place. An incident with Franco Colapinto resulted in a 10-second penalty for Tsunoda, hindering his chances of scoring points as he ultimately finished 16th. While it is believed that Red Bull’s RB21 car is challenging to drive, Horner emphasized that there are deeper issues affecting Tsunoda beyond the car’s design. The team remains committed to supporting Tsunoda’s development, with a focus on improving his performance as the season progresses.
