Yuki Tsunoda Exposes Red Bull’s Weakness in a Stunning Revelation

Japanese driver, Yuki Tsunoda, faced a devastating blow during the qualifying session for the Spanish Grand Prix when he was unexpectedly eliminated early due to what he described as a “core limitation” of his Red Bull car. Tsunoda found himself starting in the last position on the grid at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya after struggling with a lack of overall grip, a factor he pinpointed as the main obstacle hindering his performance.

Despite his efforts to experiment with different setups, Tsunoda was unable to improve his pace, finishing the free practice sessions in ninth, 13th, and 14th places respectively. Falling half a second behind his teammate Max Verstappen and missing the cutoff in Q1 by a quarter of a second, Tsunoda was left bewildered by the sudden drop in his performance level, comparing it to a descent into “hell.”

Reflecting on his recent races, Tsunoda expressed frustration at the stark contrast in his performance compared to earlier events, such as the Monaco Grand Prix, where he had been steadily progressing and even matching or surpassing Verstappen’s pace in some sessions. The young driver voiced his concerns, stating, “Whatever I do, nothing happens. Every lap – even long run was a good example. Just whatever I do, nothing happens, and it feels like this car is eating the tires like hell, having degradation massively.”

Tsunoda acknowledged the perplexing nature of the situation, admitting, “It doesn’t really stack up. I think the core limitation is still there and I don’t know what it is, and I can’t really have any answer for that.” This revelation has sparked speculation within the racing community about the underlying issues within Red Bull’s machinery and the challenges faced by Tsunoda in maximizing his performance on the track.
