Red Bull Confirms Coaching Push for Tsunoda as Albon Offers Guidance
Helmut Marko says engineers are tailoring the RB21 to Yuki Tsunoda’s preferences to accelerate his adaptation.
Overview
- Marko told Sky Germany the team changed approach after Monza, increasing driver coaching and shifting car setup toward Tsunoda’s wishes.
- Tsunoda has struggled since his mid‑season promotion, with inconsistency offset by a standout sixth place in Baku as the RB21 improved post‑summer.
- Alex Albon said on the BBC’s Chequered Flag podcast that he regularly speaks with Tsunoda to share advice based on his own Red Bull experience.
- Reporting continues to frame junior Isack Hadjar as the likely 2026 partner to Max Verstappen, with Tsunoda fighting for a contract and comparisons ongoing.
- Further claims that multiple Formula 2 rookies could be promoted across Red Bull’s teams remain unconfirmed speculation from opinion and rumor sources.
