Yuki Tsunoda is delivering a series of impressive results in his VCARB 01, drawing significant praise from Red Bull. The 23-year-old continues to progress as a driver, combining his raw speed with great maturity and consistency. Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko is very satisfied with Tsunoda’s progress, as he explained after the Japanese GP.<\/p>\n
Just over two weeks ago, Yuki Tsunoda went to teammate Daniel Ricciardo’s<\/a> home turf and executed a very solid weekend. He left Australia’s Albert Park with six points, crossing the line in P8 before a post-race penalty for Alonso promoted him into P7.<\/p>\n This result was particularly impressive in the context of F1’s highly competitive 2024 midfield. With the top five teams comfortably above the bottom five, any points are crucial for a team like VCARB. Therefore, it was critical for the Racing Bulls duo to capitalise on the DNFs in Melbourne and claim points.<\/p>\n Points were even more difficult to come by in Suzuka. The only realistic opening was to claim P10 after Lance Stroll qualified poorly in his Aston Martin. A combination of strong pace and impressive overtakes allowed Tsunoda<\/a> to take the final point in Japan – his first on home soil.<\/p>\n
