Since the departure of Daniel Ricciardo of the Red Bull team in 2018, the Austrian team has been in search of a second pilot capable of approaching the rhythms imposed by Max Verstappen. A challenge to which some members, or ex -intentors have faced, from the grill such as Pierre Gasly, Alex Albon, Sergio Pérez, Liam Lawson and now, Yuki Tsunoda.
“Keep making mistakes”
However, The only one to date that he has been able to achieve some victory in the same car as the Dutch has been the Mexican pilot, Who climbed to the top of the podium in the Azerbaijan GP of 2021, in Monaco and Singapore during the year 2022, and in Saudi Arabia and Baku again in 2023. Despite this, the team decided before starting the 2025 season to search for other opportunities in the market.
The most He convinced first was the commitment to Liam Lawson, a pilot who had liked a lot during his beginnings in the top category. However, the bet would be Yuki Tsunoda from the Japan GP. Since then, the Japanese has managed to score up to twice, although it does not seem to be enough for Helmut Marko, who wanted to leave him a message after the Miami GP.
“We have to do everything possible to get better performance. In Icola we will have new pieces and the question is whether they will approach us to McLaren. They have an incredibly powerful car, ”said Red Bull’s advisor.
“Being honest, Max Verstappen pole was only achieved because both McLaren and Antonelli made mistakes in the last attempt”, He continued.
“As for Yuki, unfortunately, it continues to make mistakes when the pressure increases”, Concluded Helmut Marko.
This is how Red Bull’s advisor wanted to take stock of Yuki Tsunoda’s performance after the Miami GP, where he ended in the 10th position.
