A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
Yuki Tsunoda is set make his debut at Red Bull Racing during the thirs round of the F1 championship, his home race, the Japanese Grand Prix. Thus, the Honda protegé was recently at Milton Keynes for a seat fitting.
The Austrian team's not had the easiest start to the season, with Liam Lawson failing to score a single point for the team across the two race weekends F1's held so far.
However, Max Verstappen has mitigated that with A couple of podiums in Australia and in the Chinese GP's sprint race and a fourth place during the feature race in Shanghai.
With Lawson's form not up to Red Bull's standards, the decision was made to replace the Kiwi driver with Tsunoda, with the Austrian team's chief advisor, Helmut Marko citing the Japanese driver's 'big steps' taken in terms of consistency, rendering him 'a powerhourse', as the reasons for him being given the seat.
