Takeoff time for Yuki Tsunoda

The beginnings in F1 constitute a step that should not be underestimated. Not even when we call each other Yuki tsunoda, that we innately possess a nice touch of steering and that little bit of madness which usually allows us to make the impossible achievable. The Japanese learned this the hard way in 2021. Cheered by his best time at the Bahrain winter tests and by a very solid first Grand Prix, still in Sakhir, finished in the points (9th), the Japanese expected to live a quiet acclimatization to the queen discipline. The slap was even more violent, and it took Nippon all year to recover. Very quickly, things actually got worse for him. How could it have been otherwise? Having only been living in Europe for two years, with the cultural shock that this implies, Yuki Tsunoda did not have as much time as the others.
