Helmut Marko has discussed Yuki Tsunoda’s chances of a promotion to Red Bull.
Helmut Marko has suggested Yuki Tsunoda’s lack of “continuity and stability” is a key reason behind his snubs for Red Bull F1 promotion, despite impressive performances this season. Tsunoda is not considered a serious contender for the seat alongside Max Verstappen if Sergio Perez is replaced. Past drivers like Vettel and Verstappen were promoted after excelling at the junior team, but Tsunoda hinted at a shift in Red Bull’s mindset after Mateschitz’s death in 2022. Tsunoda will get his first run in a Red Bull car in the Abu Dhabi test, but Marko feels he still lacks consistency, despite recent good races. The future of Tsunoda, Perez, and Liam Lawson will be decided in a meeting of senior Red Bull management after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
