Overview

• Former Racing Bulls chief Franz Tost told Servus TV that Yuki Tsunoda is not diligent enough and must raise his commitment to stay in Formula 1.
• Contact with Liam Lawson at Monza damaged Tsunoda’s floor and led to 13th place, his 10th scoreless finish in 14 races since joining the senior team.
• Team boss Laurent Mekies says Tsunoda’s single‑lap pace has recently met expectations, but the team lacks clean long‑run samples to judge his race performance.
• Red Bull plans to make its 2026 decision before season’s end, with Tsunoda acknowledging he must deliver complete weekends and keep fighting to prove his case.
• Rookie Isack Hadjar boosted his candidacy with a pitlane‑to‑10th drive at Monza after a Dutch GP podium, and he is widely viewed as the front‑runner for the seat.
