Tsunoda arrived in Formula 1 in 2021 and had a far from quiet year. Although he has shown his speed since the first race of the season, in which he also obtained a good ninth place, the Japanese has been the protagonist of numerous incidents and controversial actions, such as several furies over the radio with his own team.
In 2022 all of this has changed dramatically, but its results are not yet brilliant. With 11 points to date, he finished in the “top 10” in just three races. His partner, Gasly, has done it five times … but he has double the points.
“I want to thank Red Bull, Honda and Scuderia AlphaTauri enormously for continues to give me the opportunity to race in F1. Having moved to Italy last year to be closer to the factory, I really feel part of the team and am happy to continue racing with them in 2023, ”said Tsunoda.
Supported by Honda and member of the Red Bull Academy, Yuki moved to Italy last year on the advice of the team itself. to be close to him. They even hired a sports psychologist to work on his attitude, which paid off … even though he hasn’t yet appeared on the points table.
This lack of performance has also caused Alfa Tauri they are struggling to repeat the sixth place won in the Constructors’ World Championship last season and even seventh place two years ago. Currently the Faenza team is eighth in the standings, one point behind Haas.
Franz Tost: “Tsunuda is a very talented driver”
“Our 2022 season is not over yet and we are still fighting in the middle of the grid. I am completely focused on finishing it as high as possible and then we will think about next year,” he said. Tsunodawho in the last three races (Belgium, Holland and Italy) retired or ended up far from the points.
Secondly, Franz Tostgroup leader, specified: “Yuki is a very talented driver and he has improved a lot this season. The pace he has shown in recent times is clear evidence of a steep learning curve, proving that he deserves a place in F1. I still expect good results from him in the last six races of 2022 “.
“As I always say, a pilot you need at least three years to familiarize yourself with Formula 1, so I’m glad he was given the time to show his full potential. Furthermore, it is a testament to Dr. Marko and his leadership program that we are able to bring these young talents from the youth ranks and develop them. “
the partner of Yuki Tsunoda in 2023 it should be Pierre Gasly, this too has already been confirmed, but after the signing of Fernando Alonso by Aston Martin, the Frenchman could pack his bags for the Alpine. AlphaTauri wants to find a replacement for collateral first and is said to have thought of Nyck de Vries.
