That sensitivity and haphazardness show the scale of the task ahead for Yuki Tsunoda, ahead of his Red Bull debut this weekend at his home race in Japan. Tsunoda received the call-up after a torrid first two races for Liam Lawson in Australia and China, which included a crash and two back-of-the-pack qualifying results.

Newly-installed Red Bull driver Yuki Tsunoda has explained why he won't be asking four-time Max Verstappen for any advice on driving the RB21 ahead of his first race as part of the team. The 24-year-old joined the team from Racing Bulls last week when Liam Lawson was controversially demoted after just two races.

Yuki Tsunoda has revealed Christian Horner’s message to him following his promotion to Red Bull for the Japanese Grand Prix. The Japanese driver will replace Liam Lawson from Suzuka onwards, whilst the Kiwi racer returns to Racing Bulls after Red Bull bosses concluded he had been promoted too soon.
