Over the past few years, quite a lot of Formula One drivers have been breaking the silence on their relationship status. The fire-starter being Max Verstappen, who acknowledged his relationship with Kelly Piquet on the 2020 New Year’s eve. Then followed Lando Norris, Charles Leclerc, and most recently, Fernando Alonso. But, the one question many have pondered upon since is, what is the deal with Yuki Tsunoda?

The young Japanese driver made his Formula One debut in 2021 and subsequently built an unbreakable rapport with his teammate, Pierre Gasly. The two often engage in quite awkward yet hilarious off-track moments, which have often driven the fans to pull out ridiculous theories about the pair.
