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 community never misses a chance to point toward Hamilton’s crybaby attitude. While GOATing Tsunoda, they mentioned Lewis as Crymilton. Yuki Tsunoda may or may not win the WDC. But that does not take away from the brilliant job he has done so far.
