Alpine opted to replace 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso with Gasly for F1 2023, making Tsunoda the senior figure at AlphaTauri.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nyck de Vries, who is 28ꦉ, was expected to lead 🌞the team heading into the season given his wealth of experience in motorsport, however, Tsunoda has stepped up significantly.

Gasly and Tsunoda spent two years as teamm🔯ates an🥀d shared a very close relationship, often compared to an older and younger brother dynamic.

Clarkson has hinted that Gasly’s departure from Alph𝔉aTauri has allowed ꧂Tsunoda to flourish.

“I’m a massive fan of Yuki Tsunoda,” Clarkson said on the F1 Nation podcast. “ꦯI think he is evolving into a brilliant racing driver and a character. But I also think I feel that there’s more purpose to Yuki this year, it’s like he’s reset over the winter.

“[Was] Pierre Gasly a distraction? I ജjust sort of feel that Yuki has grown as a professional sportsman this year.

“It’s like he set himself some goals. He’s no longer just happy t🃏o be in Formula 1, he now wants to achieve something in Formula 1 and I think he’s grown as a person and as a racing driver.”

Tsunoda has been one of 2023’s star performers despite AlphaTauri struggling for o🌱utright pace.

His good form has lin𓆏ked him with a potential move to Red Bull in the future, potentially for 2025.

Tsunoda was also mooted🐈 as a potential option for Aston Martin, who will be powered by Japanese manufacturer Honda from 2026.
