Yuki Tsunoda still feels moving up to Red Bull was the right thing – but regrets missing out on a season in a much improved Racing Bulls car
Yuki Tsunoda expressed his only regret in moving to Red Bull this season was missing out on Racing Bulls’ strong car. Despite hopes of challenging Max Verstappen, Tsunoda’s best result was sixth in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. A crash in Imola early in the season set him back in upgraded parts development. Red Bull’s decision not to retain him for the new rules era led to Isack Hadjar replacing him. Tsunoda will be Red Bull’s test and reserve driver next year. He revealed that he felt disappointed about the news but the magnitude may sink in after the Abu Dhabi race. Tsunoda expressed frustration about the impact of his crash in Imola and feels limited by contractual restrictions from seeking other F1 opportunities.
