 | Yuki Tsunoda: The gap to Verstappen continues to close. I`m not sure many people can get that close.10-01-2026 |
Tsunoda said he was closing in on Verstappen. Red Bull driver Yuki Tsunoda spoke out after the disastrous Hungarian Grand Prix for the team: Max Verstappen was ninth, the Japanese himself was 17th after starting from the pit lane.
We knew it would be difficult to get into the points. When I sustained damage to the front wing, the race was effectively over.
If you look back at the past part of the season, the feeling is quite positive. I have made progress, especially since the underbody upgrades arrived at Spa.
The gap from Max continues to shrink. It may not feel like it, but on paper I`m only a tenth of his pace. I`m not sure many people can get that close to him.
We need to learn from our mistakes and work hard during the summer break to ensure we don`t start the second half of the season the way we ended this one. The result is disappointing, but we will remain positive and come back stronger, ” Yuki promised.
