Yuki Tsunoda has taken a “positive energy” to Red Bull, since the team director, Christian HorneA, he has praised the work that the Japanese Formula 1 pilot has done in the team so far.
Tsunoda conducted a private test in Silverstone with the RB19, although he faced what he described as “the classic British climate”, since he had difficulties in getting a lot of mileage due to bad weather.
Nevertheless, He gave time to better adapt to the Red Bull team on trackafter being promoted to the team for the Japan GP when Liam Lawson was descended to Racing Bulls after only two races with the Milton Keynes team.
In spite of everything, Horner said that Tsunoda was taking the right approach by not trying to measure Max Verstappen on the other side of the garage, and that he had remained impressed by the response of his new pilot so far.
“It’s just more time in the seat, which gets used to engineering, the way the team works and so on,” Horner told Sky About the tsunoda test.
“I think he is doing a good job. And he has contributed a really positive energy to the team. He is a character. In addition, is giving very useful commentsthat give a good direction. “
“And he is in his fifth year, so he has already played enough careers. He understands how it works.”
“And what I have noticed in him is that he does not become obsessed with what Max does. He only focuses on his own tuning with his engineer and does not try to reflect what is happening on the other side of the garage, which I think that is the right approach,” he said.

Horner added that it was also impressed by Isack Hadjar’s effortsby Racing Bulls, who has had a good streak in his first races in the F1 after a very complicated first appearance in Australia with an accident in the training return.
The French has added five points so far and has shown a strong rhythm in classification throughout the first five major awards of the season.
“I think he has overcome all our expectations. So far this season has been really impressive, especially in circuits in which he had not run before,” Horner acknowledged.
“It has very little mileage in the F1 and has adapted like a duck to the water. Until now it has been impressive.”
“I think that this harvest of young pilots who are arriving now can be seen that they are prepared to adapt to formula 1 and are full of trust, they are full of energy. And Isack has led brilliantly, I think, so far this year in almost all new circuits for him,” he concluded.
