Yuki Tsunoda believes he has done everything “I can control” to retain his Red Bull seat as the 2026 decision looms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tsunoda is one of a series of contenders for the seat alongside Max Verstappen for next season, although Red Bull is believed to be favouring promoting Isack Hadjar with Tsunoda potentially returning to Racing Bulls.<\/p>\n
Although it has been a difficult season for the Japanese racer, he has scored strong results of late, including a pair of seventh-places in the United States, and a Red Bull-best of sixth in Azerbaijan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Looking ahead to the Red Bull decision, after a Mexico City GP in which a slow pit-stop cost him another points result, Tsunoda was hopeful his form would be enough to save him.<\/p>\n
“I’m sure you guys don’t know exactly when they are going to decide it,” Tsunoda told media, including RacingNews365.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“But I am sure you don’t know, and I don’t know as well, but [in Mexico], I had confidence, I maximised the things I can control, and so hopefully they consider that.<\/p>\n
“But it is up to them, so I will just keep pushing what I can control, and that is it. I am always motivated, and I think for half the season, I’ve been consistent and shown something.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“This is still the direction I want to go.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yuki Tsunoda believes he has done everything “I can control” to retain his Red Bull seat as the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":255942,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,827,830,828,831,829,826,813,823,825,806,805,824,803,804,822,85],"class_list":["post-257416","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motorsport","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257416","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=257416"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257416\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/255942"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=257416"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=257416"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=257416"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
