Overview

• Yuki Tsunoda is set for a critical week of testing, combining simulator work and a day of running in Red Bull's dominant 2023 RB19 car at Silverstone next week.
• The testing initiative follows Tsunoda's mixed performances during a demanding triple-header, with Red Bull aiming to fast-track his adaptation to the RB21.
