Yuki Tsunoda has never seriously been in consideration for promotion to Red Bull Racing, but given his strong start to the 2024 Formula 1 season, it’s fair to ask whether he should be – here’s Edd Straw’s view…
Despite never having been seriously considered for promotion to Red Bull Racing, Yuki Tsunoda’s strong performance in the 2024 Formula 1 season raises the question of whether he deserves a chance. He has been impressive in the mid-field, reaching Q3 twice out of three races due to his speed and strategic overtaking abilities. Outperforming his teammate Daniel Ricciardo, Tsunoda’s potential for a Red Bull seat is evident. Although Ricciardo is still seen as the more probable candidate for promotion, Tsunoda’s recent success puts him in contention. Tsunoda, acknowledging his need to control his emotions, is focused on proving his worth and showcasing his capabilities to all teams, not just Red Bull Racing. The young driver’s talent and determination make him a compelling candidate for a future seat at Red Bull.
