Yuki Tsunoda recently suffered a setback. During his holiday at Lake Como, he lost his phone. He posted a call on Instagram for fans to search for his phone. Now, he has also posted an update.

Tsunoda posted earlier that he lost his phone at Lake Como. The Japanese driver has now been equipped with a brand new device and thanked his fans for searching in an Instagram story.

"Appreciate the generous people actually having a look in Lake Como for my phone and finding some real ones. Don't worry I have a new one. Recommend some deeper pockets when around water cause phones like to escape," he wrote.

The future of Tsunoda in F1 is still uncertain

To date, Tsunoda has had a difficult year alongside Max Verstappen, after the Japanese driver got promoted to Red Bull Racing ahead of his home Grand Prix.

GPblog could previously report that the driver is set to leave Red Bull after the current campaign. Finding a full-time seat on the 2026 grid seems to be extremely challenging as well
