Tsunoda impresses with strong start to 2024 season
Yuki Tsunoda has been turning heads with his impressive performances in the 2024 Formula 1 season. The young Japanese driver has been outqualifying his more experienced teammate, Daniel Ricciardo, and showing strong race pace.
Heading into the season, the expectation was that Ricciardo would be the frontrunner to replace Sergio Perez at Red Bull in 2025. However, Tsunoda’s strong start to the season has raised questions about who will ultimately secure that coveted seat.
Despite not being considered a strong contender initially, Tsunoda’s consistent performance and determination on track have caught the attention of many, including Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko. Marko praised Tsunoda’s qualifying efforts, highlighting his top 10 finishes and mistake-free drives.
Tsunoda himself credits his strong performances to having a consistent car and focusing on eliminating mistakes. After some frustrating races, he is determined to showcase his potential and increase his value as a driver, not only to Red Bull but to other teams as well.
As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Tsunoda as he continues to impress and stake his claim for a seat at the top of the grid.
