Yuki Tsunoda does not receive attention from RB in his promotional activities, despite outperforming his teammates on several occasions.
Yuki Tsunoda, through his image, has stood out exceptionally compared to his fellow drivers at RB. The Japanese driver has achieved impressive results in recent seasons. However, despite his success, the 24-year-old driver has not been promoted within the Red Bull organization in Milton Keynes. Consequently, rumors have emerged that Tsunoda is considering leaving the Red Bull family for another team.
Tsunoda has consistently achieved good results and accumulated points for RB, despite facing various challenges in 2023. He outperformed several teammates in the previous season. Furthermore, during the 2024 campaign at RB, the 24-year-old driver has significantly stood out compared to his Australian counterpart. However, the Red Bull organization has shown no interest in promoting Tsunoda.
As a result, Yuki Tsunoda may consider joining the Haas F1 team next season to secure better opportunities. Although Haas currently has inferior results compared to RB, the 24-year-old driver sees more potential in the American constructor. Chris Medland speculates that the reason behind this is the lack of a promising future within Red Bull.
Yuki Tsunoda is also intrigued by the possibility of joining Haas, as he envisions a future outside of the Red Bull program.
The brief yet impressive debut of Liam Lawson in the 2023 season caught the attention of several people in the paddock. The New Zealand driver was initially expected to drive for RB in the 2024 season. However, Daniel Ricciardo was chosen instead of the 22-year-old driver. Consequently, if Tsunoda seriously considers leaving RB, Lawson could easily secure the vacant seat in the next season.
Liam Lawson even took part in RB’s simulation work during the Imola weekend and impressed the staff in Faenza. As a result, the New Zealand driver will continue to strive for the deserved seat at the Italy-based constructor. Therefore, Lawson could rise up and secure a full-time position within RB, potentially leading the team to more success with his exceptional talent.
Yuki Tsunoda’s current performances should facilitate his acquisition of a seat at Haas. However, this mainly depends on RB authorities and their willingness to retain the Japanese driver. The 24-year-old driver has outperformed his teammates in all aspects and has shown a strong determination to improve throughout the season. Consequently, only time will reveal how the contractual situation will unfold for Tsunoda at the pinnacle of motorsport.
