Yuki Tsunoda is playing a cameo role in the Daniel Ricciardo/Sergio Perez Red Bull future storyline, but it might be incredibly useful to his own development. And could it even make him a realistic RBR contender?
“Yuki Tsunoda is playing a significant role in the future storyline of Daniel Ricciardo and Sergio Perez at Red Bull. Although Tsunoda is not considered a realistic candidate for the senior Red Bull team, Ricciardo’s chances of replacing Perez will be diminished if he cannot consistently outperform Tsunoda at AlphaTauri. In the recent races, Tsunoda has delivered better results, outpacing Ricciardo in qualifying and sprint races. Tsunoda’s learning from having Ricciardo around and aims to develop a wider driving technique, particularly in braking. Tsunoda’s pace has been strong, even with compromised weekends, and he is satisfied with his performance at AlphaTauri. However, he acknowledges the potential benefits of trying Ricciardo’s driving style if he proves to be consistently faster.”
