Biography

Yuki Tsunoda, the young Japanese talent, carries the potential to make Formula 1 history as the first Japanese driver to win a World Championship Grand Prix. Red Bull, recognizing his remarkable progress, envisions Tsunoda's trajectory to their senior team if he sustains his impressive performance. Tsunoda's rapid rise from Japanese F4 to a seat with AlphaTauri within three years showcases his exceptional talent. Arriving in Europe in 2019 with no prior knowledge of circuits, Tsunoda faced a slow start in F3. However, his standout debut F2 campaign, finishing third in the championship with three wins, demonstrated his speed and race craft, earning him a spot on the F1 grid. While the transition to Grand Prix racing took time, Tsunoda has firmly established himself in Formula 1, setting the stage for a potential battle at the sharp end with Red Bull.
