Driving Ambitions and Personal Connections

Now in his fourth year as a Formula 1 driver, Yuki Tsunoda says he’s starting to show his ‘full potential’. 

Frequently beating his VCARB teammate, eight-time Grand Prix winner Daniel Ricciardo, in qualifying and on race day, the Japanese star’s driving has attracted a lot of attention in 2024.

So how and why has Yuki improved so much and what does his future hold? Is promotion to VCARB's senior team, Red Bull Racing, still his priority or will he have to find opportunities elsewhere?

Speaking to Tom Clarkson ahead of the Italian Grand Prix, Yuki explains how he's made so much progress on track, why VCARB is a very different team now than in 2023 and the next steps he's planning to further his career.
