P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Yuki Tsunoda’s bad F1 form has set a new unwanted Red Bull record.
Currently, Yuki Tsunoda is facing a challenging period, experiencing the longest non-scoring streak by a Red Bull driver in Formula 1 history.
After finishing 17th in the Hungarian Grand Prix, Tsunoda has now gone seven races without earning any points, a concerning performance for Red Bull.
Excluding retirements, no Red Bull driver has had such a prolonged run without scoring points before, highlighting the severity of Tsunoda’s struggle.
Out of Red Bull’s total of 194 points, Tsunoda has only contributed seven, making his lack of performance even more glaring.
If Max Verstappen’s points were removed, Red Bull would be at the bottom of the standings with just Tsunoda’s seven points, emphasizing the impact of his recent form.
Even Tsunoda’s best result post-Imola, a 12th place in Canada, came after starting from a penalized 18th position due to an infringement during practice.
While Tsunoda’s current form is alarming, the absolute record for a Red Bull driver not scoring points over consecutive races, including retirements, is held by Christian Klien in 2006, with two finishes in-between retirements in a challenging season.
