RB Racing has had a good start to the 2024 season, with Yuki Tsunoda standing out as their top driver. The Japanese driver has outperformed his Australian teammate and is attracting attention as his contract nears its end. Looking ahead to the next season, Tsunoda may consider his options for a possible move.
Former Formula 1 driver Michael Schumacher commented on Tsunoda’s prospects, suggesting that Aston Martin could be an interesting destination. This is due to the partnership between the team and Honda for power units from 2026. It seems that Honda prefers to keep their local hero in their F1 efforts.
However, it is still unclear if Tsunoda would attract interest from other teams on the grid. If he continues to deliver strong performances, there is a possibility for him to join a different team. Furthermore, the driver market is expected to open up in 2025, increasing uncertainty about Tsunoda’s future, including the possibility of replacing someone at Red Bull.
Reflecting on the Japanese Grand Prix, Tsunoda expressed his satisfaction at scoring points in his home race. Despite a disappointing start where he lost several positions, Tsunoda made a strong recovery after the race restart. He also praised the team for their excellent pit stop.
Tsunoda credited the RB team for their role in helping him secure points. Without their quick pit stops, it would have been challenging for him to score a single point. The local hero received praise from friends and family for his impressive performance.
Throughout the season, Yuki Tsunoda has consistently demonstrated great form and shows no signs of slowing down. The RB team will continue to provide him with opportunities to score points as the season progresses. This could potentially open doors for Tsunoda to race for a top team next season.
