What would Yuki Tsunoda should do to get a seat on the foremost Pink Bull group? He has been beating his team-mates constantly for some time now – Adam
The impression from the skin is that there’s completely nothing Tsunoda can do to be thought of for a seat at Pink Bull – the bosses merely don’t price him extremely sufficient.
For this reason Tsunoda is trying exterior Pink Bull for job alternatives, although he owes his seat in F1 to Honda, their engine companion.
Paradoxically, he can not get a seat at Aston Martin, which can be Honda’s works group from 2026, as a result of Fernando Alonso has simply signed a brand new contract there and Lance Stroll is the son of the proprietor and isn’t going wherever.
So, Tsunoda is taking a look at locations reminiscent of Williams, Haas and Alpine, and it appears he has an honest probability of touchdown a type of seats on this summer season’s driver musical chairs.
As for his efficiency at RB, sure, he’s beating Daniel Ricciardo repeatedly and has put in some spectacular drives this 12 months. However that is elevating extra questions on Ricciardo than it’s altering minds at Pink Bull about Tsunoda.
For the time being, although, Ricciardo is protected by group principal Christian Horner, sources say, and is protected for now from being changed by reserve Liam Lawson.
Motorsport adviser Helmut Marko, who would most likely like to advertise Lawson, has misplaced energy and affect within the inside civil struggle at Pink Bull that was laid naked by the allegations of sexual harassment and coercive, controlling behaviour made in opposition to Horner by a feminine worker, which Horner denies, and which an inside investigation dismissed.
It’s not arduous to think about a Lawson and Ricciardo line-up at RB in 2025, although, if Horner doesn’t shift his stance and Tsunoda strikes elsewhere.
