Since debuting in F1 in 2021, Tsunoda has shown remarkable speed, but his inconsistent results and heated temperament have tarnished his reputation. This season, he has excelled with the rebranded RB squad, outscoring his more experienced teammate Daniel Ricciardo by 10 points. Despite Sergio Perez’s struggles potentially opening up an opportunity at Red Bull in 2025, Ricciardo or reserve driver Liam Lawson are seen as more likely candidates. Tsunoda, under contract with RB for 2025, remains determined to prove his worth and believes he has evolved into a more complete driver. With limited interaction with Red Bull senior management, Tsunoda focuses on delivering strong performances post-summer break in hopes of being considered to partner Max Verstappen in the future.
