In a shocking turn of events, a bombshell has been dropped in the world of Formula 1 as a Red Bull star is now linked with a surprising move to a rival team ahead of the 2026 F1 season. The upcoming season is already creating a buzz with the introduction of Cadillac to the grid, but the spotlight has shifted to the driver lineup of the new team.
While speculations have been rife about the potential drivers for Cadillac, including names like Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez, a recent report from RacingNews365 has set tongues wagging by revealing that Red Bull’s struggling driver Yuki Tsunoda is also in consideration for a seat at the American outfit.
Tsunoda, who was initially overlooked for the role of Perez’s replacement in favor of Liam Lawson, finally got his chance to shine this season after Lawson’s short-lived stint. However, the 25-year-old has faced a tough time alongside Max Verstappen, managing to secure only seven points in nine races.
The pressure on Tsunoda escalated further after a disappointing performance at the Austrian Grand Prix, where he finished 16th following a collision and a time penalty. With Red Bull’s hopes of reclaiming the constructors’ title fading away, Tsunoda’s future hangs in the balance as he aims to turn his luck around at the upcoming British Grand Prix.
While Verstappen continues to chase the drivers’ championship, Red Bull finds themselves trailing behind in the constructors’ standings, a massive 255 points adrift from the current leaders. As the F1 season unfolds, the drama surrounding Tsunoda’s potential move to Cadillac adds an extra layer of intrigue to an already captivating sport.
