On Tuesday, Yuki Tsunoda drove his first laps in a Red Bull Racing car. The Japanese driver was in action for the Milton Keynes-based team during the post-season test in Abu Dhabi. It's the first time he's ever driven an up-to-date Red Bull car.
Although the last Grand Prix of the season is over, Red Bull still faces a difficult decision. The Austrian team held a meeting with all stakeholders on Monday. The driver who should be in the coveted seat alongside Verstappen was also discussed.
During the second day of testing in Abu Dhabi, Yuki Tsunoda stepped into the RB20 for the first time. The Japanese driver is allowed to drive Red Bull Racing's car after the season. Alongside Tsunoda, Isack Hadjar will drive the Red Bull. Elsewhere, Nico Hulkenberg has moved across to Sauber, Carlos Sainz is already in the Williams and Esteban Ocon has jumped into the Haas.
