Yuki Tsunoda was moved from Racing Bulls to Red Bull ahead of the third round of the 2025 F1 season.
Japanese racer Yuki Tsunoda expressed his regret from the 2025 F1 season, being that he missed out on driving the “pretty fucking good” Racing Bulls machine.
After switching with Liam Lawson early in the season to partner with Max Verstappen, Tsunoda scored 30 points in his 22 races and five sprints with the team before being replaced by Isack Hadjar for the 2026 season.
Tsunoda was involved with Racing Bulls, formerly AlphaTauri, since the ground effect era in 2022, playing a key role in the team’s development alongside various teammates.
Even though Lawson and Hadjar contributed significantly to the team’s success, Tsunoda’s only regret from that season was not being able to drive the VCARB02 machine for the full season.
Despite missing out on that opportunity, Tsunoda stands by his decision to join Red Bull and looks forward to his continued role as the third and test driver for the team.
