Yuki Tsunoda has declared the Las Vegas GP was among his best weekends with Red Bull in F1, despite his point-less run extending to three races.
Yuki Tsunoda considered the Las Vegas Grand Prix one of his best weekends with Red Bull in Formula 1, despite not scoring any points in his last three races. Tsunoda started from the pit lane due to a Q1 elimination caused by incorrect tyre pressure, eventually finishing 12th once the McLaren drivers were disqualified. He insisted that his race pace at the Las Vegas Strip Circuit was not accurately reflected in the final result. Tsunoda blamed his luck, particularly the timing of a Virtual Safety Car period, for his continued misfortune since joining Red Bull. Despite showing improved performance throughout the weekend, Tsunoda lamented that factors beyond his control, such as a missed opportunity in qualifying, prevented him from showcasing his true potential. Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies acknowledged that the team’s strategy did not fully compensate for Tsunoda’s Q1 exit, taking additional risks to try and gain a competitive advantage.
