Yuki Tsunoda, the Japanese driver for RB Formula 1, has impressed CEO Peter Bayer with his performances in 2024. Bayer commended Tsunoda for his growth and maturity over the past six months, stating that he has transitioned from a teenager to an adult. Tsunoda has had a strong start to his fourth season in Formula 1, outperforming his more experienced teammate Daniel Ricciardo in the first four rounds. He secured points for the rebranded RB squad in Australia and Japan, with a seventh-place finish and a tenth-place finish, respectively. Despite facing pressure from midfield rivals, Tsunoda’s skillful pit stop and overtakes at Suzuka allowed him to secure the final point. Bayer compared Tsunoda’s result to a victory, as RB solidified its position in seventh place. The RB CEO also praised Tsunoda for handling the pressure from his Japanese supporters, who were eager to meet him and take photos with him. Tsunoda’s ability to stay focused during the race impressed Bayer, who highlighted his progress over the past six months. Tsunoda expressed his ambition to move up to the senior Red Bull team, but Bayer believes that his continued success will attract attention from other teams as well. While no decisions have been made yet, Bayer is confident that Tsunoda’s consistent improvement will make him an interesting prospect for other teams.
