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 has recently said goodbye to his managers Mario Miyakawa and Luis Alvarez and has now joined forces with Mexican Diego Menchaca. Ahead of the new Formula One season, Tsunoda touched on this topic and why he made that significant change.
Tsunoda spoke of Miyakawa and Alvarez with high praise, but ultimately he needed to make a change. " I appreciate appreciated them, but I feel like there's another way that I can take a different approach."
"I appreciate his work, and I like him as a person, and we're still definitely different. Just wanted to kinda refresh my team structure," Tsunoda said of Miyakawa.
Did the change come about with 2026 in mind?
It is no secret that Tsunoda is still hoping for a spot alongside Max Verstappen in Red Bull's main team. "Maybe partly. But in the end, I know that those kinds of contract things [are] mainly coming from my performance rather than [my] management team. So whatever [my] management team works on, it's always coming from performance. And if the driver is not performing well, it it always makes their life very hard."
