Yuki Tsunoda enjoyed a positive qualifying outing at Spa-Francorchamps and is set to start from inside the top 10.
Yuki Tsunoda expressed his improved confidence in being “aggressive” with the Red Bull car after receiving the updated floor at Spa-Francorchamps. Due to his previous crash at Imola, Tsunoda had been using an older spec car compared to Max Verstappen, but the new floor gave him a performance boost, resulting in a seventh-place qualifying position at the Belgian Grand Prix. This marked Tsunoda’s best qualifying result since joining Red Bull earlier this season. The new floor provided him with more grip, allowing him to push harder and be more aggressive with the car, compared to the previous setup. While Tsunoda’s car still differs from Verstappen’s spec, he credited the team for bringing timely upgrades before qualifying, indicating there are more improvements to come while appreciating the significant impact of the new floor on his performance.
