Zandvoort, Pays-Bas – Yuki Tsunoda a créé la surprise en se qualifiant en 12e position pour le Grand Prix des Pays-Bas. Le pilote japonais, relégué au rôle de pilote Red Bull en début de saison, a été rappelé dans l'équipe Racing Bulls.
From places behind teammate Arvid Lindblad, Tsunoda conceded four tenths in qualifying. A significant gap, but the Nippon displays a confident smile.
“In the Sprint, I was surprised to see how everyone braked so early at the first corner,” he said. This remark echoes Max Verstappen's criticism of the new technical regulations.
The reigning world champion called F1 2026 “Formula E on steroids” during dereïn testing. Tsunoda, although often measured, validates these remarks.
“We feel like rookies,” added the 26-year-old driver. The new single-seaters, heavier with redesigned aerodynamics, are shaking up the benchmarks.
