The Red Bull manager knows that the Japanese driver will want to leave the organization if he does not see that he can go to the main number team

Yuki Tsunoda will represent experience and continuity in Racing Bulls next year, but ruled out for promotion, the Japanese seems to be without a path in the team Formula 1 pproperty of Red Bull.

The avalanche of advertisements Red Bull culminated on Friday with the confirmation of Isaac Hadjar 20 years old, as Tsunoda’s teammate.

The Frenchman takes the New Zealander’s vacant seat Liam Lawsonwho joins the four-time champion Max Verstappen in the main team after the Mexican Sergio Perez was discarded.

However, the Japanese manufacturer will leave Red Bull at the end of 2025 to work with Aston Martin.

“We are very aware that if we are not able to provide an opportunity for Yuki (in Red Bull) in all honesty this year, does it make sense (to keep it)?” said the team boss Red Bull, Christian Hornerto journalists.

“You can’t have a driver in the support team for five years. You can’t always be the bridesmaid. You have to let them go at that moment or find something different.”

Christian Horner commented that he spoke with Tsunoda, a fan favorite who is currently enjoying some downtime in Japanand that the pilot was determined to show what he could do.

“I think he is very determined. “He knows that things change very quickly,” said the Briton. “Who would have thought nine months ago that we would be sitting here talking about what Liam Lawson “Would it be our pilot in 2025?”

“Things change quickly in this industry and he is aware of it and knows that he has to be the one to show that he is the one knocking on the door.”
