“The New GOAT”: Lewis Hamilton’s 103 Wins & 7 WDCs Overlooked, as Fans Hail Red Bull Young Gun to Surpass the Briton

Red Bull has an eye for developing exceptional driver talent. 7 of the 20 drivers on the current F1 grid were part of the Red Bull drivers program. According to fans, a new stat posted on Instagram suggests Red Bull might have another championship-winning driver. The young sensation’s stat compared to Lewis Hamilton was enough to put the Briton’s 7WDCs and 103 wins to bed. Who is this young gun?

Yuki Tsunoda really has really stepped his game up so far this season posing as a strong candidate for the second Red Bull seat. The Japanese driver managed to push the slow AT04 to P11 in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia after starting well outside the top 10. Tsunoda managed to qualify P12 for the Australian GP and made 2 positions on the opening lap. On the subsequent restarts, he made up places as well and managed to finish the race with 1 point after dragging the car to the Top 10.

The F1 page on Instagram uploaded a stat mentioning Lewis Hamilton and Yuki Tsunoda are the only two drivers to make places up in all three races. However, Tsunoda gained a total of 10 positions over the three races, whereas Hamilton only made 5. Tsunoda recently explained how he has been watching various races, especially Fernando Alonso’s driving videos, to improve his skills. The Japanese driver seemed to have taken inspiration from his hero.

Fans expressed their joy over Yuki Tsunoda’s performance by comparing him to Lewis Hamilton. The AlphaTauri driver finally shows signs of being the great driver that was promised during the Red Bull drivers program, as fans instantly speculated a move to Red Bull. People were surprised to see the fact as nobody expected Tsunoda to perform this well in such a slow car.
