Yuki Tsunoda acknowledges the responsibility for his struggles in the Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix, admitting they were self-inflicted despite the continued support from his Red Bull team. Since joining as Max Verstappen’s teammate mid-season, Tsunoda has faced challenges transitioning from Racing Bulls and has only amassed seven points in nine races. The criticism of Tsunoda’s performance, notably in Austria, emphasizes his inability to match Verstappen’s success. Tsunoda’s rough race in Austria saw him finish 16th, two laps behind the leader, worsened by a penalty for colliding with another driver. Despite the setback, Tsunoda takes full accountability for his shortcomings and is working diligently to improve his racecraft and performance for upcoming races. Despite doubts surrounding his future, Tsunoda feels supported by Red Bull’s management, including Christian Horner and Helmut Marko, who have expressed confidence in his abilities and commitment to keep him for the rest of the season. The public backing from Marko regarding Tsunoda’s position provides a sense of stability and encouragement for the young driver in his quest to improve and deliver stronger results.
