Red Bull’s most overlooked driver Yuki Tsunoda says he needs to be close to perfect if he’s to win the shootout to be Max Verstappen’s 2025 team-mate
Red Bull’s underappreciated driver Yuki Tsunoda acknowledges the need for near-perfection to secure the spot as Max Verstappen’s 2025 team-mate. Liam Lawson steps in for Daniel Ricciardo to potentially replace Sergio Perez in the senior Red Bull Racing team. Red Bull seems to view Tsunoda as a benchmark rather than a Red Bull Racing driver, despite his consistent performance. Tsunoda sees Lawson’s arrival as a continuation of the ongoing competition for the second Red Bull seat. Tsunoda remains focused on proving himself through results and hard work to maximize his chances for a promotion. The intense competition between Tsunoda and Lawson adds a new dimension to the team dynamic. Tsunoda’s main goal is to outperform Lawson and help Red Bull achieve success in the championship.
