Young F1 sensation Yuki Tsunoda faces harsh reality check as he admits he’s not on par with teammate Max Verstappen in adapting to sudden car changes. Tsunoda, who narrowly missed out on matching Verstappen’s qualifying time at the Austrian Grand Prix, expressed his frustration at failing to progress to Q2 for the third consecutive race.

In a candid confession, Tsunoda revealed his struggles in adjusting to unexpected shifts in the Red Bull car’s balance, unlike the seasoned Verstappen who can seamlessly navigate through challenges during a lap. The Japanese driver admitted, “I am not at the level where I can adjust fully in the lap or maximize the package.”

Tsunoda’s disappointment was palpable as he lamented his inability to capitalize on the car’s potential during crucial qualifying sessions. Despite acknowledging his progress and growing confidence, Tsunoda emphasized the need for consistency and improvement to reach the elite level of his teammate.

Furthermore, Tsunoda highlighted the narrow operating window of the RB21, labeling it as a challenging but not insurmountable car to drive. His struggles in finding the right balance reflect the steep learning curve he faces in his debut Formula 1 season.

As Tsunoda grapples with the demands of elite-level competition, the young driver remains optimistic about his trajectory in the sport. However, the stark contrast in performance between him and Verstappen underscores the immense gap in experience and skill that Tsunoda must bridge to compete at the highest level of Formula 1.
