 | Journalist Noble: Marco patted Tsunoda on the shoulder with a big smile, Mekies was very pleased with Yuki in Baku3-03-2026 |
The expert reported on the reaction of Red Bull bosses to Tsunoda’s race in Baku. The Race columnist Jonathan Noble spoke about how Red Bull perceived Yuki Tsunoda`s sixth place at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
He was at the simulator in Monza, working on various things, trying to understand the car - and reported that he had found something with the team.
Neither he nor Laurent Mekies say what exactly. Obviously, this is some key aspect for performances. Of course, he felt more comfortable.
We saw him [the evening after the race in Baku]. Helmut Marko patted him on the shoulder with a big smile, Laurent Mekies was very pleased with him.
Yuki was literally beaming, animated, jumping around - a contrast to how he had been in the previous stages. Very gloomy, disappointed, angry with himself.
So I think there are signs of progress, and this progress is enough for Laurent to admit: yes, there will be a difficult choice of squad for the 2026 season, because the team still wants to make a decision before the end of the season.
If Lindblad is promoted to Formula 1, to Racing Bulls, and Adjar goes to Red Bull, he will have to choose between Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda - who will give up his place, the expert reasoned.
