Yuki Tsunoda (Scuderia AlphaTauri) responds to Red Bull F1’s trust in him with a powerful performance in 2022 after a difficult rookie F1 season.
Yuki Tsunoda performed in imola and tricky conditions and finished in 7th place, surpassing his acclaimed teammate Pierre Guthrie. In the second half of the race, Kevin Magnussen and Sebastian Vettel were brilliantly overtaken.
Yuki Tsunoda’s success so far has helped Scuderia AlphaTauri take the lead in the Haas F1 Team in the Constructors’ Championship.
European sports car champion Alex Brundle told Crash.net that he was impressed with the improvement rate of Yuki Tsunoda from last year.
“He’s working on that, right? He’s still full of energy in the cockpit,” said Alex Brundle.
“The radio message’Let’s go!’When he made a pass in the second half of the race really loves him and wants to see him succeed.”
“He’s human in the car and he wants to see him really succeed. In contrast to the other drivers that come to mind, it doesn’t hurt the character. In fact, it might be profitable in that environment, because the other drivers are machines. Yuuki is definitely not, that’s what I really like about him.
.. Incidents are decreasing and they (Red Bull) believe in him. Performance is back. “
Alex Brundle hopes that Helmut Marko will stick to Yuki Tsunoda and continue to “feed” young Japanese drivers, although Red Bull’s driver program has historically been ruthless.
“There was a stage where we had an accident until the middle of last year. Guthrie performed at the top of the field, podium and results, and Yuuki could only see where the accident happened.”
“People wondered if he should still be there, but they (Red Bull) really believed in him and they kept him throughout the year. I want to see him move in the direction, so I really hope he can do that.
Legendary F1 commentator Ben Edwards praised Yuki Tsunoda’s impressive racecraft at Imola.
“I’m impressed with some of what he’s doing this year,” said Ben Edwards.
“We know he started hard last year and then got a little depressed. There were some mistakes. There was that crash in Imola’s qualifying last year.”
“This time he puts it together nicely. When I see him racing, it’s a good race craft. He knows when there are cars around him. Even in yesterday’s race That’s right … he was very aware as he tried to line up. His race was very noticeable. “
