Yuki Tsunoda has opened up about the RB21 F1 car and the challenges that came along following his Red Bull promotion.

Assured by Helmut Marko that he will remain a Red Bull driver until the end of the F1 2025 season, Yuki Tsunoda says that beats being told the team could switch drivers in “two races or whatever.” Tsunoda is already Max Verstappen’s second team-mate of the F1 2025 championship, having swapped places with Liam Lawson after just two race weekends.

The team at Red Bull Racing recently sacked team principal Christian Horner. During the press day at Spa-Francorchamps, there was a lot of talk about Horner. Red Bull driver Yuki Tsunoda was also asked about the dismissal.

The pressure on Liam Lawson has lifted somewhat, seeing Yuki Tsunoda face similar struggles in Red Bull's RB21.

Tsunoda has struggled to score points since joining Red Bull at round three of the F1 2025 championship, the Japanese Grand Prix, bringing in just seven in his 10 starts. That’s well down on the 129 his team-mate Max Verstappen scored in the same period.
