Yuki Tsunoda's situation, which was still promising a few days ago, turned dramatic today, as Red Bull Racing clearly stated that they were going to let him go.
It was Christian Horner, the all-powerful and decision-making team principal of Red Bull Racing, who made this statement:
“We are fully aware that if we cannot offer Yuki Tsunoda a chance to progress, then I don’t really see the point in keeping him. We haven’t been able to promote him to the main team, and we can’t afford to keep him in our junior team for many more years. We have to let him go at some point so that he can seek a better opportunity. Of course, we can’t completely rule out the possibility that he still has a chance to progress, just as we can’t rule out that Racing Bulls will be more competitive than in previous years.
I spoke to Yuki, he accepted it, he stayed motivated, he wants to prove that he will be the one who can get the best out of RB. What we are doing is helping them technically, next year they will already receive our rear suspension and gearbox. I hope the team will progress, mature, and things can change very quickly... For example, would anyone have thought that in just one year, Liam Lawson would be our driver in 2025? It's a job like that, and he is aware of it, he knows he has to prove that he can be counted on. - said Christian Horner about Yuki Tsunoda.
If we were Tsunoda, we wouldn't even wait until tomorrow with this team...
