Formula 1 fans have urged Red Bull to axe Yuki Tsunoda and try a different driver for the 2026 season, rather than retain the 25-year-old.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a RacingNews365 poll, fans were asked to vote for whether Tsunoda deserves another year to prove himself alongside Max Verstappen in the Milton Keynes-based outfit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tsunoda was promoted from Racing Bulls to replace Liam Lawson after just two races this season, but has struggled to adjust to the RB21.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In 15 races for Red Bull, Tsunoda has scored just 20 points, hurting the Austrian team in the fight for second in the constructors’ championship.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He has endured some difficult periods this season, which included a seven-race point-less streak from Monaco to, and including, Hungary.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, Tsunoda has started to make progress, despite being rumoured with either a demotion back to Racing Bulls for next year or even an exit from the Red Bull family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tsunoda has scored points in two of the last four races, including a season-best result of sixth in the Azerbaijan GP.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite the strong result, both Lawson and Isack Hadjar have claimed a top-five finish in 2025 \u2013 Hadjar was on the podium in Zandvoort, while Lawson claimed fifth in Baku.<\/p>\n
In the poll, 53.7% of those who voted believe Red Bull should axe Tsunoda and sign a different driver, with 39.7% having the view that he deserves more time.<\/p>\n
