Yuki Tsunoda – the perfect fit for AlphaTauri

Tsunoda’s rookie season had started off strong but soon lost its sparkle. However, now Tsunoda looks to wrap up his first season showcasing his spectacular driving skills; the skills that moved Helmut Marko to bringing the driver to AlphaTauri.

Both the driver and the Red Bull boss acknowledge that Tsunoda and the team were a perfect match.

Yuki said“from the beginning, AlphaTauri has been a team that suits me. They have been really friendly since the first test in Imola. They are always chatty, and for me, that works well. I love all the guys in our team.

“That’s why it feels more of a shame when I make a mistake… I just need to get them the results they deserve.”

Marko, who had a lot of trust in the 21-year-old, agreed.

“Everybody likes him because he’s funny, which is nice, but what you need is consistent speed. …We believe he has enormous potential. From Austria [race nine] he was already faster than [Daniil] Kvyat so the decision to promote him was right. He’s so young. He has a lot to learn.”
