Yuki Tsunoda at Red Bull: Rising sun or twilight?

Pierre Gasly will remain for a few more months the most capped driver in the history of the B team Red BullThe Norman with 96 starts for the Faenza structure will not be beaten by Yuki tsunoda from the Canadian Grand Prix on June 15. By making the big jump to Red Bull, the Japanese leaves his tally frozen at 89 Grands Prix with Alpha Tauri – Racing Bulls, exactly the same number as Daniil Kvyat, whom he replaced in 2021. Over the four seasons since his almost tiptoeing arrival, Tsunoda has shown a lot: undeniable speed, an atypical personality and a volcanic character that contrasts with his seemingly placid 1,61 meters.

At 24, he was thrown into the lion's den: the gentle apprenticeship at Faenza, in the second row of the GPs, was over, and it was time for the ruthless management of Milto.

Vincent, Yuki is Japanese, I know Japan, and the Japanese, their way of life, respect for others, nothing to do with his predecessors at Red Bull......

RB's management no longer has much room to be ruthless as it continues to drain its entire roster. If Tsunoda doesn't fare any better than Perez and Lawson, who's left? Hadjar, who only has two GPs under his belt? This isn't getting serious.
