Gasly’s Insider Remark Highlights Red Bull’s Second-Driver Strain

Gasly’s comment about undisclosed team issues underscores the mounting performance pressure on Yuki Tsunoda.

Overview

  • Pierre Gasly said he is aware of undisclosed internal challenges at Red Bull, signaling opaque tensions behind the scenes.
  • Yuki Tsunoda has scored just seven points in 12 races and gone scoreless over his last seven grands prix, raising doubts about his adaptation.
  • The RB21’s narrow operating window and Verstappen-tailored setup have limited Tsunoda’s ability to extract performance despite extra simulator and private testing.
  • Red Bull’s record of midseason driver swaps, including Liam Lawson’s early demotion and Gasly’s own 2019 exit, fuels speculation about another change.
  • Gasly offers Tsunoda personal advice and support but emphasizes that finding a solution ultimately rests with the driver and the team.
