168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda wants to remain in the Red Bull family, even if he continues to be overlooked for a promotion to the main F1 team.

Despite another strong campaign for RB in 2024, Red Bull opted to promote 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson over Tsunoda as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez’s replacement for the upcoming campaign.

Tsunoda had a clea🐬r edge over Daniel Ricciar𒀰do, who Lawson replaced following the Singapore Grand Prix.

The Japanese drivꦰer generally outperformed Lawson during their six races together as teammates.

Tsunoda won the qualifying head-to-head 6-0, but Lawson impressed Red Bull due to how quickly he’s adapted to F1 and his comb💎ative nature on-track.

Tsunoda embarks on his fifth season with Red Bull’sܫ junior team - and it seems he’s keen on remaining part of the family for the years to come.

Speaking to media, including, at F1 75 Live at The O2, Tsunoda was asked if he would have to look at other team🐬s i💯n 2026.

He replied: “I don’t know, maybe our team, maybe [they] change 🌌the name again next year, and then I can say a different team, you know. But, let’s see.🌳 It depends on my performance, I guess.

“Every season, I was going to go, you know. Obviously, I would like to stay in this ﷽Red Bull family. In any way, if I go to Red Bull Racing, that’s amazing.

“If not, you know, still, I would love to be in this part of the ♒team that, you know, I’ve been in this🌳 team already five years, and, you know, I’m probably the most experienced driver in this team, and I’m feeling already, like, really connected to every person, which is, for me, very important as a driver to develop myself and, you know, focus on what I want to do.

“Every people n൩ow in our team is facing the same direction. I feel a l♏ot of support from them, which means a lot to me.

“So, yeah, whatever happ꧟ens, you know, there can be interesting options, but obviously my main target is to be in this team, in our Red Bull family.”

Tsunoda was “prepared” for Red Bull decision

With▨ the new season fast approaching, Tsunoda dismissed any ill feelings toward Red Bull, admitting he’s “parked” anything from last year.

Tsunoda hinted that he was alread༺y mentally prepared to bꦓe overlooked by Red Bull for 2025, meaning he could avoid being angry or disappointed.

“Yeah, it’s last year’s things that I al🌄ready kind of parked, and I’m like a bit away from my head, to be honest,” Tsunoda added.

“The moment they officially announced, I would say, I didn’t actually feel ಌthat super, super, like, angry or disappointed at that point, to be honest.

“To be honest, maybe I was prepared inside of my head at ℱsome point, but in the end, whatever, even when I go to Racing Bulls, VCARB or Red Bull, the things I have to do are the same. So, you know, in both ways, you can do pretty cool projects in any way.

“Maybe if I go to Red Bull, you know, maybe teammate [of] Max, ꦬit’s not easy, but at the same time, it’s cool things, and you can prove yourself, you know, 𒅌in a different stage.

“Even with VCARB, you know, it’s different things that I’ve never probably experienced in a position that, more like leadership, I gu🐼ess, are the things that I have to also, at some point, develop myself more.”
