Tsunoda full of praise for AlphaTauri after ‘incredibly special’ P9
Earlier on Saturday, it was announced that Yuki Tsunoda’s contract with AlphaTauri has been extended until the end of the 2024 season. Daniel Ricciardo will also stay with the team next season, with Liam Lawson losing out on the seat. Despite struggling in practice sessions, Tsunoda impressed in qualifying and secured a place in Q3 for the first time in months, thanks to home support and car upgrades. He expressed his gratitude for the support from the Japanese fans and is eager to make the most of his top ten starting position and aim for points in the race. Meanwhile, Lawson narrowly missed out on Q3 but is optimistic about his performance on a circuit he is familiar with, having previously competed in the Japanese Super Formula championship.
