How AlphaTauri’s "crazy" F1 upgrade push helped Tsunoda deliver unthinkable feat
With the help of updates to the AT04, Yuki Tsunoda qualified in sixth position and maintained this position in the early stages of the race. He briefly led the race for five laps before making his first and only pit stop. Although he ultimately finished in eighth place, Tsunoda’s performance was a pleasant surprise, as earlier in the season the team struggled. Tsunoda praised the team’s effort and mentioned that the upgrades they made throughout the year were instrumental in their success. He acknowledged that the strategy they employed in Abu Dhabi was challenging but had no regrets and emphasized the team’s late-season form as a positive sign for the future under a new boss in 2024.
