Yuki Tsunoda is a man to watch. That much was already clear after his impressive Formula 2 season, but at his very first official Formula 1 test it was confirmed once again. The young Japanese driver ended it with the second fastest time of the weekend.
"Especially today it was very good. We made a lot of progress, had no problems and I could just focus on riding. Yesterday we had some bad luck, but today we had everything in place. The Honda mechanics did a really good job."

Having fun on the soft tyre

"I felt very comfortable throughout the session. I did 91 laps and that's very good," said Tsunoda, who at the end of the day was given the chance by Alpha Tauri to do some short runs on the soft tyre as well. He found that the most fun to do
"I'm definitely having fun driving the C5, the softest tire. I've never experienced this much grip before. So I definitely enjoyed it. I learned a lot, about driving and about the tires. Especially because I did a whole race simulation. With tire management, I made a good step forward."
