168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda has revealed that a 'couple of teams reached out' before he decided to commit to VCARB for the 2025 F1 season.

Tsunoda has enjoyed a strong campaign for VCARB, generally out-performing veteran teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo.

Despite his good form in the first half of the year, Tsunoda wasn’t thought to be in contention to replace 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez at Red Bull.

Tsunoda reportedly attracted interest from Sauber/Audi as they assessed options if they missed out on 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz.

Speaking on the latest episode of the podcast, Tsunoda reflected on his impressive season so fဣar.

“Keep doing what I am doing I guess. I started♔ to show my value th💛is year from the beginning of the season,” he said. 

“Also a couple of teams reached [out] to me and talked about different directions. I never had that things last year, especially first years. Just need ♛to consistently keep delivering the results.

“So far I am able to achieve that but this is the first year I am showing my full potential, good results, consistently. I know that there’s a lot of t❀hings I can improve.

“Still a lot of things to♐ come from myself. Just have to show to every team principal or every team that I am a good driver🅠 and I can achieve a lot of things.”

Despite be♑ing overlooked by Red Bull again, Tsunoda insists his “main priority” is the Milton Keynes outfit.

“T🐻he main priority is Red Bull Racing,” he added. “It’s one thing I am aiming since I joined F1. The car is one of the fastest cars right now. I mean, currently, probably McLaren is a little bit faster.

“I just want to drive with their car at some point andꦉ show my potential to drive top four𒅌, top three, top two, whatever. At the same time, if that can’t be achieved or maybe they’re happy with the drivers.

“A⛎lso I want to drive at some point in the consistent top five. Hopefully the VCARB will be able to achieve that. We are progressing a lot. We stepped a lot forward. I try to help them as much as possiཧble.”

Tsunoda could ꧒be a potential Aston Martin ta𝓡rget in the future, particularly as they will be powered by Honda in 2026.

The Japanese driver conce💫ded that if another good opportunity comes up, he could consider it.

“Still, if another team ⭕might be interested or able to match how I think or what they think, then why not? But I am just focusing right now on what I have to do. Keep delivering the results to impress all of the people,” he concluded.
