The perfect fit for him is to partner Alonso at Aston Martin. But go tell that to papa Stroll
Exactly. So, the odds are very low. Even if Alonso leaves, AM will sign Sainz because they’ll want a big name at the team and Merc is going to sign Kimi. If Alonso leaves it’ll be for RB. So, he won’t even get an interim chance there. That leaves maybe Sauber or Alpine and I just can’t see Alpine picking up Yuki instead of keeping their French lineup.
@@The_ZeroLine AM isn't impossible. Honda is and will continue to pressure Aston to sign Tsunoda for 2026 especially
@@The_ZeroLine The whole reason Yuki is with RB is because he's a Honda guy, Honda will give Lance Snr an ultimatum by 2026
@@davicee.I love Yuki, but how do we know Honda is pressuring them? Sainz has more Japanese fans than Yuki. So, it’s not like the country will be demanding they put him on the team and Honda will want the best line up possible. So, unless they force Stroll out, they’ll want Sainz before Yuki if Alonso leaves and if Stroll leaves, I’m betting Honda would prefer Alonso and Sainz until Alonso retires. So, Yuki needs to stay put for a while.
Just a note: I find it silly folks upvote comments saying what they’d like to happen but dislike those saying what’s most likely. I want Max to have FA as a teammate or FA + Yuki at AM, but I know the odds don’t favor it.
I think Yuki would be a good fit for the second seat at Aston Martin for 2026, but only if Lawrence Stroll has the courage to tell his son to kindly fuck off
Honda will give daddy Stroll an ultimatum no doubt about that
Just send him to WEC
My son, be kind and f*ck off.
Honda already signed, which means Stroll already agreed to that.
Stroll could be Yukus stepdad or adopt him as his son.
Don't get why people don't rate Yuki, guy has been performing so well and doing what he needs to to do, being up there fighting for points and beating his teammate but still people don't think he's good enough to be in F1. Bet you if Riccardo was doing what Yuki is doing then everyone will say he should be in that Red Bull.
Lando beating Daniel: Wow, What a fantastic driver Lando is!!
Yuki beating Daniel: Yuki is gabage
Doesn't Ricc also have the better car?

1) Not comparable, Norris was often over half a second quicker than Ricciardo in qualifying and LITERALLY destroyed him race pace and race craft wise (Norris took 7 podiums, Ricciardo 1, he also had 1 pole and scored something like double the points, which is insane given the more you go high in the hierarchy the more it's difficult to score more % percentage than your teammate).
2) Norris is a truly great driver.
He has, soft inputs, incredible feel for the tires (one of the best tire whisperer on the grid and he can do so while remaining fast) and incredible one lap pace.
He established himself against drivers like Sainz and Piastri, while Yuki completely failed to do any impression against Gasly (except perhaps in the latter 2022, but Gasly was leaving the team).
Tsunoda on the other hand is all about reflexes and late braking, he also relies on the others' drivers abilities to avoid crashes in order to craft his races.
@@Pepe-dq2ib Leave him alone. He's a Riccardo fanboy.
@@quentinhirschfeld9382 implying Gasly stopped driving on his last year? Is Sainz and Lewis also not driving on the last team season now or perhaps Yuki caught up to Gasly and continued to improve.
Honestly, my biggest fear is that Yuki will get pushed out of the sport like Kobayashi did.
He’s evolving into a pretty similar driver on track, and even said some of his moves this week were inspired by Kobayashi.
It’d be a shame to lose two good Japanese drivers the same way.
It would be sad, but honestly, he doesn't has much potential as Bearman, Antonelli, Lawson,...
@@quentinhirschfeld9382 Those drivers also haven’t had a full season in f1 yet. I like what I’ve seen from Lawson and Bearman, but look at where DeVries was in 2022.
Yuki’s still young enough to pass as a rookie, so it’s not like he’s age limited. He’ll still be growing just like any rookie that comes in.
@@quentinhirschfeld9382 there's other f2 drivers, like oh idk, the current title protagonists?
There are 2 up and coming Japanese drivers to replace him
@@quentinhirschfeld9382Lawson is lowkey overrated, definitely less special than Antonelli and Bearman + Tsunoda was better in F2 & F3 than Lawson
Tsunoda for me has been the best midfield driver of the season.
There are better midfield drivers like ocon, gasly, Albon etc…

Alot of it come down to money and marketing potential.
He is an asshole and treats people like dogshit?
Danny Ric is more popular on Netflix.
Seriously, that makes all the difference.
Yuki is like the stepchild who always gets good grades but never get the same love, no matter what he does. If Daniel suddenly awakens and match Yuki, it would be Ricciardo and Lawson at RB next year.
always get's good grades? look at 2021 and 2022
Dan is the yawn 🫢
More like the kid that just gets an average passing grade regardless of how easy or hard the test is.
@@Lora_Beolab He did great with that shitty car.
If you look back at the past 10 or so races, he has been by far the best "best of the rest" driver, even better than Albon who was by far the highest rated midfield driver in 2023 to that point. As Tommy from P1 said, if Daniel had been getting the results that Yuki has, he would be the clear frontrunner for that 2nd Redbull seat so I do feel sorry for Yuki but just proves F1 isn't always just about being fast.
I fully agree he should start looking elsewhere, and he should not be let down by the fact that maybe Redbull aren't regarding him too highly. I personally think he should just stick it out with RB until end of 2025 unless for some miracle there is a seat available from the top 5 teams (I guess most likely is Stroll getting dropped, but even that is very unlikely), as probably RB is the best team out of the bottom 5 and he is obviously very comfortable there as well so he's got the best shot of delivering the best results.
In 2026, maybe that's when he realistically has a shot at a move to Aston, or if not, there still could be options at a team like Alpine or Audi, which wouldn't be bad options. Maybe Williams as suggested in the video if they are able to show more signs of progress (though that's clearly not going very well so far). He would be 25 years old in the 2026 season, so he is still young and can spend a couple years to test and show his true potential so he doesn't need to feel pressured to have to make a big move immediately.
Merc doesn't seem to have any news on their second driver for 2025 yet...
Long shot but in my mind entirely possible
Tldr
Spot on comment.
Tsunoda would thrive alongside Albon at Williams, young ambitious team with prospects to climb the grid, a great mentor in Vowles and a co operative teammate in albon
I am glad he is getting some recognition here. He is growing all the time and, in a good seat, could pull a few suprises.
growing everywhere except height lmao
Love how he's passionate. He thanked his pit crew while driving out. Also he isn't afraid to cuss out teammate orders.
With RB, Ferrari, Mclaren, Mercedes and Fernando Alonso taking up the top 9 there is essentially 1 point up for grabs every weekend, unless any of them DNF, and it's actually creating a really exciting battle between 5 teams for 1 point
With stoll b fighting for that 1 point with bottom 5 teams.haha
@@harrisonlenan4424ouch 😂
No, that 1 point battle isn't exciting at all lmao

Does he? He hasn't had a good season yet, and his race pace has not been impressive.

@@bemusedpanda8875the og one is Ocon
Yuki is in top 10 this season, way past Ricciardo but everybody wont acknowledge that. I bet it would've been different if he wasn't Asian
Oh come on! What about Albon? He is acknowledged already as a good driver.
@@dragosstanciu9866 are you being sarcastic? Get a grip! You know well it's not the same given Albon's father is a white British former race car driver, which makes Albon's circumstances totally different. People like you recklessly type comments while looking the other way, proving my exact point!
Yea I really think Yuki has to be in Aston Martin maybe then they could have a chance of winning the Championship if only the Red Bull had a howler season
Reminder, Honda has promised FULL suppport towards Yuki Tsunoda to make him the first Japanese champion winner, no matter what it takes (even not a Honda engine driver)
Gasly has mentioned in some interviews and his column on The Players' Tribune that Red Bull never lets you forget your past mistakes if you're trying for the Red Bull seat properly. Especially if they are eyeing up another talent and they haven't made those same mistakes yet. I think Yuki's story with RB ends the same way as Gasly - they'll gladly take him to drive the AT but I agree - he's not getting the RB seat unless Max AND Checo both leave suddenly. Tsunoda would probably do quite well at a different team where he isn't saddled with the baggage behind the scenes of his early career immaturity.
It's Honda and he's Japanese. They won't let him walk so easily.
Ah, Yuki. I've been backing that firecracker since 2022. And my GOD am I thriving off seeing him in Q3 and getting two back-to-back points finishes, sure, it's only what 7 points BUT he's partnered with Daniel, he's in a sell-out team. It's actually hecking brilliant.
I think, when Honda starts making tracks, they'll somehow convince Lawrence to jack in his position and take vitchtits out. Or they'll force him out and say "You wanted us, our condition is Yuki" and make him have to pull Lance.
Either way, I just want him to focus on now and keep up his momentum because seeing him do well - and seeing him acknowledge his childish outburst in Bahrain - solidifies to me I'm backing a good driver - Not outstanding or great - but good.
What would he have to do in that Vcarb to be considered a great driver? Beat his team mate 4-0 in qually? Get into q3 lots of times? Score all of the teams points?
For me he seems like preatty good mid-field driver. The highest team he can reach in his career seems to be Aston Martin, when his good mid-field driver.
I really like Yuli and have since his first year. I hope to see him given every opportunity to succeed to see what he can really do
I really want to see Yuki grow.
bruh
You what?
I bet Yuki could see better over the wheel if he was 170cm.
🤔
Grow taller than Iwasa?
he needs to go aston and potentially compete for podiums and maybe wins
It would makes sense with the Aston Martin and honda relationship coming in 2026
@@lucid-eclipze571 his only hope at Aston is for Alonso to to go to Merc or RedBull. There´s no way Lawrence is ditching his son
@@MrSilverfish12 I dunno, I think Strulovitch Snr realises Alonso still has it in spades, especially after the last couple of races, and let's face it Russell is quick, (just look at his history in to the sport and who he has beaten in equal machinery) it's the Merc/car he drives that's not, (you can see that both Merc drivers are wringing the neck out of that car), Alonso is cool as cucumber, calculating and a very tactically aware driver who knows exactly what outcomes he can make behind him by driving his car "strategically" (and yes I do think drivers s/b be allowed to do this) controlled Russells race pace and position almost, which Lawrence knows makes Alonso an absolute top tier of a driver and without him Aston Martin would be fighting for 8th position in the Constructer championship, and not battling for 3rd. There's already been speculation about Lance leaving, so I wouldn't be so sure. one thing is for sure, if Honda do buy out AM - Vitchtits will be dropped like a hot potato....
Yuki is single handedly carrying the car to Q3 consistently. Imagine what he can do in AM. I know it's gonna be a hard path but in Japan he shows in a lower level car he can keep Stroll behind, I think the investor of AM will notice it. But the other problem in AM, I think they need to keep the champion driver in their seat to show off the confidence so Yuki is their third option after Alonso and Sainz.
I’m glad I’m not the only one thinking this. Honda, take this guy to Aston Martin, please.
Yuki to aston would be pretty easy if the windowlicker leaves.
In Formula 1, sometimes, results alone aren't always enough to get you into a better seat even if you deserve it. - yeah, tell that to Kamui Kobayashi.
I don't know mate.
Both Albon and Gasly that left RB for good are now at the back of the grid.
Yeah I think it’s a better option to hold on to redbull for as long as possible
@@Boyllc but they have a better chance to still be driving past 2025.
Sainz ended up at Ferrari...
@@ahhmm5381 only to get fired…
Debatable, but they're a lot happier away form that toxic environment and not having Markko as their boss.
I firmly disagree about three tiers, to me, there are four clear tiers:
1) Red Bull
2) merc, Ferrari, McLaren and Nando
3) Stroll
4) the rest

Best case scenario for Yuki, Alonso retires by 2025, Tsunoda goes to Aston Martin with that full backing of Honda. Another driver to slam stroll in his own team
Yuki is more than a Honda driver than a Red Bull driver anyway
Yuki is a excellent driver, it's just the car that not so fast
Question: Did DTS save Danny Ric's F1 career?
i honestly think Horner saved Danny Ric, and he somewhat proved himself and gave himself and others hope that he has still got it when he drove the Red bull (maybe it suits him and he actually would be good in it i don't know i don't see the data), i think Danny is Horner's favorite driver and that's what got him that seat.
No, Horner prolonged his career
More like resurrected the corpse of it
More like destroyed. DTS premiered in 2019 and this is where Ricciardo's career began to crumble.
He stuck around long enough for his talent to run out with the whole world watching.
Tsunoda's great run has continued from last season and still going!
I totally agree. I hope Yuki gets a chance at least for a half season run with the RBR like Gasly did, but in reality, I don’t think Horner would consider him as Checo’s replacement.
If Alonso moved to Merc, then maybe Yuki can grab that second seat at Aston.🤔
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁😀
Thanks Aldas‼️ 👍👍🏁
Yuki has had the biggest arc out of every driver. His mindet has changed so much. I really see him evolving into a leader for any team that truly wants to invest in him and not keep him as a money chip. He deserves better for all the work he's put in.
Horrible advice. Yuki is doing stellar at RB and is their #1 driver. He's becoming more and more reliable and he doesn't have to worry about being replaced any time soon.
He won't go to any of the top team so his other choices are teams that have been less consistent in performance than RB.
Hi Aldas, great video and content as always. Love the constant presence of context in your content. As great as Yuki is nowadays, to your point, unless Honda backs him up past 2025, I think he'd be a great fit in indycar as a honda driver. With great results there, it could also put him back on the "top" driver market back to F1. Plus, given his age, that could get him a path similar to that of Takuma Sato who most people forget was an mid field driver back in his f1 days. Look at him now.
If aramco buys Aston. Then Yuki can join Aston. And we can see him team up Alonso. What a line up!
Is not that he doesn't deserve the seat in Red Bull, is just Red Bull doesn't deserve him
I think the problem is this:
1. He hasn't had a proper benchmark. Looking at his teammates, Gasly was the only consistent and stable benchmark, but that was still when Yuki was coming to grips with F1. Then he had Nick, who sucked, Ricciardo, who sucks and Lawson who was a total rookie and actually brought up the heat.
We're praising Yuki for putting that RB in 10th, but the reality is that we don't _really_ know where that car stands. Maybe if Alonso drove it he could put it in 6th o 7th place. It's hard to meassure because Yuki hasn't had a consistent teammate of proven quality.
2. While he has improved in his driving, he is still mentally a child who can't be trusted with a top seat. Look at that ridiculous display in Bahrain fighting for 13th, and imagine what would happen if he were alongside Max in a top car. He cannot be trusted and needs to prove otherwise. Yes, he has done better in the last 2 races temper-wise, but that's not enough. He needs to maintan consistency and show maturity throughout a season to earn Red Bull's respect.
Aramco buys out Stroll is the best hope for Yuki.
There's nowhere else to go.
RamsayF1 back at it with more quality content!
Good analysis on a random topic Aldas!
I totally agree. There is very little chance he will be in a Red Bull. Having him next to his Idol, Alonso, before he retires would be nice, but that is highly unlikely due to Lance. I would like to see him pair up with Alex or Carlos to see where he stacks up. Either way, his best option, it seems, is to go to Aston Martin.
I think George + Yuki at Mercedes is the best pairing. It is of the same philosophy as Lando + Oscar at McLaren and look at the success of that.
I think Yuki would be a great fit for AM if rumors are true that Aramco isn’t happy with Lance’s performance. It would satisfy both Aramco and Honda interests to have Tsunoda so long as Yuki can keep his temper under control.
Alonso-Tsunoda would be a much better AM lineup than Alonso-Stroll.
I hope (and reckon) Honda have an agreement with Aston where they have to field Yuki
The agreement better state that Lance Stroll will bugger off
If he can get his temper under control, he could be a solid No. 2 at a top 3 team. Not a Russell or Piastri level second driver, but a solid one. It just seems like races go well for him, but the second a mechanical issue arises or someone races him a bit on the edge, he just loses his wits and temper and his race unfolds.
Yuki has been a very good driver for a while now, last year he drove really well and it flew under the radar…
this year he is really showing his skill. And I agree he should go somewhere that will respect him more!
Glad to see someone else noticed this! I was watching him very closely last year- he often was P11 so just out of the points. I've always had full faith in him. ♥
@@rvx5818 I was frustrated by what seems to me the commentators feeding back from the fans, when they're supposed to be experts. They should have been explaining more forcefully why Tsunoda was doing a great job last year instead of just reflecting twitter opinion. I agree he was out of the points, but very clearly getting the most out of the car - which is all any driver can be expected to do.
It’s looking more likely that Perez might keep his redbull seat. If he continues to beat Daniel throughout the season, and redbull really has promised Lawson a seat, Daniel gets replaced, otherwise redbull will look unserious if they let the quicker driver go. But even then, it seems like when yuki beats a driver, it’s looked at as the other driver underperforming instead.
I’d like to see him at Aston Martin, but I don’t know if Honda would give Aston(stroll) an ultimatum that they’d accept. Or if Alonso maybe moves on for instance
It is a fact, Lawson beat him with 0 preparation.
@@quentinhirschfeld9382rubbish. A reserve drivers has heaps of prep. He was outqualified by Yuki and only scored points in Singapore as 5 potential drivers retired. Cope harder 😂
Redbull should give him chance to drive like Mercedes did to George.
Hell no, look what happened to the previous 2nd drivers at Red Bull, Gasly and Albon couldn't drive that car and with tsunoda it'll happen the same, Checo is perfect for that seat, he can manage the things Albon and Gasly couldn't, Red Bull don't need to give chance to driver with not too much experience
When it comes to the narrative for Yuki it's always the other drivers underperforming rather than him beating them...
Same case with 2019 leclerc, and 2021-22 lando
We Need a Alonso X Yuki Tsunoda Combination
It’s such a shame too, because yuki is actually a pretty good and consistent driver, his chances of actually living up to that potential are very slim. The chance of him staying in f1 for long too, are also pretty small. I just hope another team would notice his potential.
I’d add a small footnote to your narrative: _Marko has always rated Yuki,_ that’s why he was brought into F1 after just one year of F3 and one year of F2. Honda can’t make RBR do that, it’s Marko’s decision and he doesn’t care about marketing he judges purely on performance. Check out Marko’s comments over the years and he’s always said Yuki is fast he just needs to become consistent.
It’s _Horner_ who hates Yuki’s guts. Remember the “We got Tsunoda’d” comment (which turned out not to be Yuki’s fault at all)? The latest is Australia pre-race where he went right past Yuki at the grid ignoring him to Daniel whom he encouraged. Of course Horner is personal buddies with DR, but the blatant favoritism like ignoring Yuki is so unprofessional.
And the thing is Marko probably had a bigger say in terms of driver selection but after the passing of Mateschitz we’ve seen the power struggle which Horner seems to have come out victorious. So, I agree with you, RBR will never give a chance to Yuki.
Baby Stroll performed exactly as expected from most fans.
The hints have been there about the VCARB team from day one, Yuki and Dani constantly reassuring us that its totally serious team and not a feeder team...
One very important point you made was the importance Honda puts on loyalty. Whether he goes to AM or not, Honda will ensure he stays in F1.
Redbull know that there is a chance Yuki is as quick as Max in same car. They're never going to bring him up to RB. The rather have slow driver than Vettel vs Webbah situation.
Yuki inarguably is even what I would consider one of the best drivers on the grid in some aspects looking back at his career the race that comes to mind that almost everyone ignores is his amazing defense against Lewis in the 2021 Brazil Sprint keeping him behind for much longer than what he should comparing the good midfield alpha to the jet that was that merc for that race. He also has had many other highlights in his career playing defense in ways that I think are only matched by the champions on the field like Lewis and Alonso. This season he is inarguably in the top 7 drivers on the grid. I really hope he manages to get out and leap frog to Aston and hopefully partner with Alonso and maybe if he continues on this upward trajectory and Aston keeps there trajectory I think we could see him challenge for a WDC. But I say all of this as a partially delusional Yuki die hard fan who still partially rates Riccardo.
stroll could be in the red bull and would still finish out of the pts
But he wouldn't get sacked because lawrence would buy red bull
Aston Martin has a seat, or at least they should.
I think Yuki + Alonso would be a great pairing for them going in to 2026 with Honda.
I think Williams would have to get the Honda engine before Yuki goes there.
I suppose if Laurence is put under any pressure from Honda to have a Japanese Driver, the first thing he'll do is go give Williams a bunch of money and share the Honda engines with that team.
He's always been rated highly and has always shown that he cares and wants to do well, its his level of maturity that's hurting him, and I dont think that will be so much of an issue going forward, I think he recognizes that he can't blow up every time something goes wrong, and the longer he stays at RB-B the more its obvious and sometimes shit really just doesnt go the way you want it to go
The Stroll situation complicates everything because the team only has 1 seat to work with every year... I feel like they may give it to Sainz next year
The problem is that it's tough to judge Yuki's performance when others in the seat are fucking up. If Gasly was still at RB or Perez got demoted to RB, can you confidently say that Yuki outscore them too? Until there is definitive proof that is the case, no major team will ever consider him a serious candidate. Sad but true state of affairs.
bro, regardless of that, Yuki got to leave Red Bull ASAP. The reality is Yuki completely 4th or 5th pick in red bull 2nd seat
@johnlau6749 True, but what I'm trying to say is that he's got no takers based on his performance, even though he is doing well. Aston Martin is the only realistic possibility, that too only if Honda can pay more than papa Stroll feels is worth it to keep Lance.
@@rnd201 but as u said are Honda willing to do that?
They should have him step down to super formula for now. There’s so much young talent
With a strong reliability for all the engine makers, it’s a struggle for the lower teams to fight for points. That’s why the new point system needs to be brought in similar to Indy cars I think, where points are given till 15th rank.
Williams would be tricky for him but Aston would be the best option with Honda coming in 26 and the new factory and stuff that Lawrence stroll has planned for that year.
“Whatever they’re gonna be called tomorrow “ 💀😂
I just hope Yuki get the oportunity to show what he's made of 👍👍
Totally agree. What would be great is if he can beat Stroll over this season in the vcarb.
Tsunoda at Williams sounds quite good, especially if it’s a pairing of him and Antonelli, it gives me some vibe of Sainz and Norris in McLaren.
makes sense. yuki’s one of those drivers who’s great, but not great enough for red bull. and we can’t blame red bull for that either, with sainz available and perez performing to a a decent level as of late. with honda going to AM yuki should make the switch too.
also funny how we’re getting a bit of deja vu with gasly having a similar problem only a couple years back.
I think he should go to Aston Martin and Drive with Alonso for 2026 💪🏼
Huge Yuki fan, but let’s look at why he’s unlikely to have any options for ‘25:
1. RBR (nope, especially w/Honda gone)
2. Ferrari (all full)
3. McLaren (all full)
4. MB (90% chance of Kimi)
5. Aston (assuming fans’ fantasy of Stroll leaving doesn’t happen, the only way FA leaves is for RBR in which case the seat is Sainz’s)
6. Haas (OB and NH = 90% likely)
7. Williams (maybe - it’s a Merc team though
8. Sauber (it’ll be Sainz if he can’t get a seat at AM, which will only happen if FA goes to RBR and will require VB to get booted too)
9. Alpine (they’re more likely to keep both drivers before signing Yuki)
So, RB is probably the best holding pattern while he waits for Stroll to get kicked out or quit and/or Alonso retires).
Drivers taking a year out isn't unheard of, test driver for a season
@@stu8758That’s worse than staying another year at RB because hype dies down so fast.
@@The_ZeroLine Also Antonelli isn't going to be ready for Mercedes next season based on his F2 peformances so far (see him in a Williams for a season or two of seasoning), so you've got a seat there that either Sainz or Alonso takes (probably Alonso as he's more likely to sign a shorter deal so they have the option to bring in Kimi down the line). Riccardo's only motivation & objective is that Red Bull seat, if get doesn't get it he's done & probably retiring, so you've got Lawson and one open spot at RB (which they might as well keep Yuki for another season as they don't have anyone else ready to step up)
opinions on sainz going to mercedes?
And while he's a little stuck in the RB, I don't see Williams, Haas, alpine or Sauber as moving up. It may show flexibility if he can do well in another car, but that car is likely to be slower, or roughly equal to the RB. I don't personally think Antonelli is going in to Merc already in 25, so I think it depends on who gets that open seat. If Alonso goes there, then I see Yuki taking his place in AM, due to Honda deal. Though Sainz is a better driver on track, and AM needs one amazing driver...
Yea, he's a little screwed for options.
I agree he's probably best of showing and developing his skills at RB
Yuki is pretty good, he would beat Perez, Albon as well. He is very underrated. Hopefully Saudi's will buy Stroll team but Yuki also needs to show consistency. He has the speed to compete with top guys.
He wouldn't beat Perez, delusional 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡
9:44 i disagree. It means they think hes their best driver, not a good one compared to race winners.
Think Yuki needs a race in a Redbull to stamp his mark
I've been thinking the points system needs review for some time. It allows for the top team to be unbeatable too early in the season which makes it boring. If the points went down further it would give much more opportunity for smaller teams to be more competitive.
Watching from Manila! Big fan here , Aldas!
How's the pagpag?
I wouldn't say Marko is not acknowledging Tsunoda. In fact, he has said he has "blossomed" and that the mistakes of the past are gone. He is currently in the gushing phase with Yuki.
He isn’t getting upgraded to red bull because they want a mature no.2 driver who doesn’t say shit about how red bull works for their no.1 driver
He will probably go to Aston as he's a Honda driver
I'd like to see Yuki with Audi in 26 alongside Vettel possibly
Vettel ain't coming back son
I'm not woke or anything but is this discrimination? I'm becoming a Yuki believer they should too. Anyone else would have been uplifted by now.
Lots of politics in F1.
8:02 this clip, of Yuki laughing and being positive despite knowing he's not gonna be there in 2026 shows a bit of character i think
Yuki is underrated and will always be. It is better of for him to just stick with Honda and let them manage his career.
I think he'll end up at Aston Martin or Audi in a couple years. In 2018 Red Bull snubbed Carlos Sainz, he then left the Red Bull system and has since transformed his career for the better. Tsunoda should do the same.
"Yuki to Aston" is a prediction that aged like milk.
We all love Yuki 😻
well he deserve to be in team with better car . and then he show RB how foolish they are leting him go
I think an alonso sainz lineup or a tsunoda sainz lineup at aston would be perfect.
Yuki will make a great understudy to Daniel... It will make Yuki s better driver and have the ability to cope in F1
???
Alpine just became the backmarkers in 2024
Not same, but, for me, very similar with what happened to Prost-Peugeot in 2000.
To finish behind sauber with their 30 second pitstops is indeed an achievement for a make team.
I have taken so much shit online for supporting Yuki and saying he’ll do really well. I’m sick of it.
And I’m finally happy somebody agrees with me
just in time
in RB family you're never good enough to go to main team RedBull but if you make couple of mistakes like Daniel R. or Kvyat you will see the exit way sooner than in any other team, this is why Yuki needs to look into his options right away, he doesn't need a team who doesn't take him seriously but when he makes mistake they all act serious
Stroll situation: as for now Lance has been damaging his own career and identity but soon Aston Martin as a brand/company will also start to suffer so they will have to drop him, with strong second driver they could be lot higher in constructors championship
