Yuki Tsunoda is learning from the best. After suggesting that his defense improved after watching Fernando Alonso’s video, Tsunoda’s inner Sebastian Vettel seems to have woken up as he helps the people out in Imola by getting his hands dirty. Remember how Vettel stayed back, helped clean the stands, and took the trash out after races? Yuki is doing the same thing for the people in desperate need at Imola. The Japanese seem to have won over the fans with his actions. Let’s see how things went down.
Earlier this week massive rain showers and thunderstorms hit the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, causing flooding in multiple areas. F1 took the sensible decision and canceled the GP which was supposed to be held this weekend in Imola. Many teams and drivers took to social media to explain their grief and hope for the well-being of the people living in the Emilia-Romagna region. Nevertheless, Yuki Tsunoda had different ideas for helping out.

This humble personality was showcased recently as a post appeared on Twitter.
Post the Emilia Romagna floods, Tsunoda was seen cleaning up the city of Faenza in the Emilia-Romagna region. The AlphaTauri factory is based in Faenza and Tsunoda, along with his teammates were seen getting their hands dirty. In a Tweet posted by ESPN, the AlphaTauri men and the Japanese driver are seen with shovels and brooms in their hands with the caption, “Yuki Tsunoda helping clean up Faenza, the city where AlphaTauri’s factory is based in Italy ❤️”
Yuki Tsunoda’s humble actions to help out the people in Italy won over the internet and the fans. As he got his hands dirty, fans expressed themselves on social media to praise the Red Bull prodigy. Let’s see what they had to say.
