An important future update by Yuki Tsunoda published by the boss of Red Bull Christian Horner as Isack Hadjar continues to impress

Yuki Tsunoda finds himself under a meticulous examination in the middle of his chain of disappointing results since he joined the Red Bull team. The Japanese Pilot Qualified Plum lasts the Spanish Grand Prix, which prompted the director of the team Christian Horner to provide a subtle update on his future.

The 25 -year -old man, who was drafted to replace a underperforming Liam Lawson after only two races in the 2025 season, recorded a decancing results dam, including three non -marking finishes in his six races with the team so far – who has fueled conversations on what could become his future.

On the other hand, Red Bull’s sister team, Racing Bulls, saw the recruit pilot Isack Hadjar emerge as one of the most impressive pilots of the 2025 season. This disparity in fortune between the two pilots encouraged Christian Horner to ask the question of what could become the future of Yuki Tsunoda with the team. Answering the question, as detailed in an article shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Formula runnersThe Red Bull shopping chief said:

“Yuki has the most difficult work in F1 – being a teammate of Max. Yuki is doing well so far, regularly scoring points. But if he wants to be considered for next year, he will have to continue to improve.”

The realization of an improvement will be high on the list of priorities of Yuki Tsunoda, because it could face the possibility of being withdrawn from the second Red Bull seat – as was done before with Lawson, Sergio Perez and several drivers who preceded them. The 2018 Japanese F4 champion will now focus to turn his fortune at the Spanish Grand Prix after his last place.

How Yuki Tsunoda reacted after his Spanish qualifications

Yuki Tsunoda spoke to the media to share her thoughts after a frustrating qualification session of the Spanish Grand Prix. The 25 -year -old deaths were qualified last after having failed to improve his times on the turn throughout the session.

The Japanese driver had been significantly out of pace compared to his teammate Max Verstappen throughout the weekend, and this disparity was obvious during qualifications, despite the use of more tires. By reflecting on the session, Tsunoda admitted that there was not much that he could have done to improve his time on the turn.

Sharing his reflections via the official Formula 1 website, he said:

“It’s a shame. Honestly, the turn itself was fine. There is not much where I made a mistake or anything in both laps. Even if we had put three series of tires, I don’t think I could … with this rhythm, it will be difficult.”

Speaking more about the performance of the car during long shopping in front of the Grand Prix, he continued:

“The fact is that this also applies to the long-term pace,” he said. “In FP2, the long -term pace was really bad.

“It is simply not a good feeling. Until now, what I feel is that the car is a lot of tires, and each turn, whatever I do, I experience degradation. But anyway, I hope that the change in configuration has taken a step forward. I hope it will be better, but in reality, I have a little less hope.”

The best result of Yuki Tsunoda with the Red Bull team remains the ninth place he has reached at the Bahrain Grand Prix. Based on its recent performance, the Japanese driver could be in another difficult outing around the Barcelona circuit.
