Yuki Tsunoda Facing Intense Pressure to Stay A Red Bull Driver: Report

According to Sky Sports F1 journalist Ted Kravitz, Japanese driver Yuki Tsunoda faces “intense” pressure to stay in the Red Bull pool as a whole.

Tsunoda – which changed from mid -season from the Racing Bulls, the Junior team of Red Bull, in Red Bull Racing – was incoherent alongside its teammate, Max Verstappen.

Upon entering the Italian Grand Prix, Tsunoda finished 13 races with Red Bull, scoring nine points, winning home points in four racing weekends in total.

Just over 30% of the races brought points, while Max Verstappen was difficult for podium finishes.

While he was from top to bottom in Red Bull, the Racing Bulls Pilot Isack Hadjar offers stellar performance, even surprising Tsunoda in certain races.

At the Dutch Grand Prix, the 20 -year -old captured his first podium, while Tsunoda has not yet brought a race of first five.

With Hadjar breathing his neck, Tsunoda is under pressure to provide results soon.

On the Sky Sports broadcast, the very connected journalist Ted Kravitz has crystallized what is at stake for Tsunoda.

“It appeared that Yuki is really under intense pressure, not only to remain a Red Bull racing driver,” said Kravitz.

“I think we all knew it, it’s obvious and obvious, but in fact to remain a Red Bull driver, if he returns racing bulls.

“I asked Lauren Mekies, the boss, and I gave him two chances of confirming that if Yuki was substituted and that Hadjar came as a teammate of Max Verstapun.

“Either towards the end of this year or for 2026, would Yuki fall to racing bulls?”

“And on any of these opportunities could not say that the Mekies could not say yes, he will do it. He refused to confirm it.”

The director of the Laurent Mekies team has been a well -known supporter of Tsunoda for years, going back to his time in Alphanauri (now known as Bulls de Race), although it seems that the team leader adopts a waiting approach.

“We haven’t made a secret. We have time. We think we have time to make decisions. We don’t think something we’re in,” said Mekies via Sky Sport.

“We have seen, of course, we look with a big smile. Isack’s progress, I think it was exceptional.

“But we also see, you know, Yuki being able to take a significant step in the last three races. We have all the cars on our side, so no need to rush for us.”
