Recent rumors of an exit for young talent Yuki Tsunoda and his current post at RB have surfaced over the last week. Tsunoda is thoguht to be considering his options as Red Bull has not yet made a long term commitment to Tsunoda taking the second seat in the first team camp. However Red Bull’s indecision is leaving Tsunoda considering other options. In an interview with Racing News365 he said, “We’ll see. I think, obviously, especially when I’m in Red Bull, you want to always aim for Red Bull. But if they don’t want me, or they’re not expecting me [to be] into the seat… if I’ve got an interesting offer that could be better than even RB or Red Bull, yeah, I’ll think about it. I also have a big loyalty to Red Bull as without them I wouldn’t be here. And obviously Honda as well. And speaking of Honda, maybe Aston Martin… [as a future option for him].”
Tsunoda has heavily put performed his teammate Daniel Ricciardo whom was seemingly on his way out at RB due to a lack of performance. Tsunoda currently has triple the number of points as Ricciardo however Ricciardo’s name continues to come up in discussion regarding the number 2 seat at Red Bull. Red Bull have a dilemma on their hands. The clock is ticking and this is one case where Red Bull need to be decisive.
