Another full day of F1 news is in the books and thus, GPblog brings about a round-up of the biggest news of the day.<\/p>\n

Red Bull Racing<\/a> is parting ways with Yuki Tsunoda<\/a> at the end of the season, multiple sources have confirmed to GPblog, despite official denials from the team. Tsunoda was promoted to the senior squad just two races into the season to replace Liam Lawson, but after 10 Grands Prix, the experiment has failed to deliver. With only one ninth-place and two 10th-place finishes, the Japanese driver hasn\u2019t made the impact Red Bull hoped for.<\/p>\n

His departure reignites the question of who will partner Max Verstappen, assuming the Dutchman stays. With Verstappen\u2019s own future still in the air, the second Red Bull seat for 2026 remains one of the hottest topics in the driver market.<\/p>\n

Yuki Tsunoda\u2019s time at Red Bull Racing will end after this season, GPblog can confirm, leaving Helmut Marko<\/a> with a familiar dilemma: who will partner Max Verstappen in 2026? If Verstappen stays, Marko has two clear options within the Red Bull talent pool. Isack Hadjar has impressed at Racing Bulls, but whether the Frenchman has the potential to become a Grand Prix winner \u2014 let alone a title contender \u2014 remains an open question.<\/p>\n

The other, more daring choice is Arvid Lindblad. The 17-year-old Brit has been touted as \u201cte new Verstappen,\u201d and Marko has never shied away from bold moves. After all, he famously promoted Verstappen to Red Bull at just 18. If anyone would take a similar gamble on Lindblad, it\u2019s Marko.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Another full day of F1 news is in the books and thus, GPblog brings about a round-up of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":362,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[441],"tags":[49,48,578,576,577,82],"class_list":["post-361","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-f1","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=361"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/362"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=361"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=361"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=361"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
