Title: Red Bull’s Shocking Admission: Yuki Tsunoda’s Disastrous Singapore Grand Prix Performance

In a startling revelation, Red Bull racing chief Laurent Mekies has laid bare the shocking realities of Yuki Tsunoda’s performance during the Singapore Grand Prix weekend. After a promising sixth-place finish in Azerbaijan just two weeks ago, expectations were sky-high for the Japanese driver. However, what transpired in Singapore was nothing short of a nightmare for Tsunoda and the Red Bull team.

Mekies didn’t mince words when he described Tsunoda’s opening lap as “certainly shocking,” a sentiment that echoes the disappointment felt throughout the Red Bull camp. The team had hoped Tsunoda would build on his recent success, but instead, he stumbled during qualifying, failing to make it into the final segment and settling for a dismal 13th on the grid. This marked the tenth occasion this year that Tsunoda has failed to crack the top half of the starting lineup since joining Red Bull.

Reflecting on the dismal Saturday performance, Mekies acknowledged, “It was not a good Saturday for Yuki. Honestly, on Friday, I was satisfied with the work he has done. It was not looking spectacular on page one, but looking at every single lap, I think it was at the right level.” However, he expressed concern over the drastic drop in performance on Saturday, stating, “We need to work with him to understand what derailed it.”

The situation only deteriorated for Tsunoda on race day, as a disastrous start saw him plummeting down the order to the back of the pack. Despite showing flashes of speed and managing to claw his way back to positions P12 or P11, Mekies emphasized that the combination of a poor qualifying session and a catastrophic opening lap ultimately cost Red Bull valuable championship points. “The first lap was certainly shocking, but from that point onward, I think he has done a very decent race,” Mekies noted, highlighting the mixed emotions surrounding Tsunoda’s performance.

With the ghosts of Singapore haunting the Red Bull team, Mekies confirmed, “We had a very poor Saturday, it’s costing us the weekend and a few points, and we’ll work with him to improve together.” As the Formula 1 season progresses, all eyes will be on Tsunoda and Red Bull as they strive to rectify these missteps and reclaim their competitive edge.

In the wake of this tumultuous weekend, the discussion now turns to how Tsunoda will respond and whether he can harness the momentum from his earlier successes to turn around his fortunes in the next race. The stakes are high, and the pressure is mounting—Tsunoda’s future at Red Bull may depend on it.
