Yuki Tsunoda is happy to be back in Miami for the Grand Prix. Despite not getting much of a break, the Japanese driver is ready to go.

In Red Bull Racing's Miami preview press release, Tsunoda said, "It’s great to be in Miami and as ever, it’s set to bring the heat! I really like coming to Miami, the restaurants are great and I love the beach, so it’s a good mix between a very relaxing life and a fun one!"

'I've been at the factory'

Tsunoda has only been a driver with Red Bull Racing for three races now. He admits, "I’m learning how busy life as an Oracle Red Bull Racing driver can be and the Team have kept me occupied off track this week with lots of the fun activities. Now it’s time to focus on the racing and what we need to do on track."

"I’ve been at the factory with my Team since Saudi and I also tested in the RB19 at Silverstone, so it’s been lots of hours spent together and lots learnt. It’s a Sprint weekend in Miami, so it’ll be a very busy one, and we have to try to maximise everything as much as possible in that one practice session and then in all the time out of the car, with my engineers and Team. Hopefully, if all goes well, we will be smiling on Sunday night."

Tsunoda has already arrived in Miami, while his teammate, Max Verstappen, is notably absent from the paddock. However, Red Bull Racing has confirmed that the Dutchman is on his way.
