Yuki Tsunoda’s delight at racing at Zandvoort was plain to see. No wonder, given that he had last competed in a Grand Prix at last year’s season finale in Abu Dhabi, after which he was – against his will – demoted to the reserve bench.
More than eight months later, he was unexpectedly given the chance to get back behind the wheel – as a replacement for Liam Lawson in the Visa Cash App Racing Team, because the New Zealander had been temporarily promoted to the Red Bull Racing Team to replace Isack Hadjar, who was out with a wrist injury.
Tsunoda narrowly missed out on the points, but the race reignited his passion for racing. That’s why he said during his press conference: “I know what I’m capable of, and I think I was able to show that. Of course, it’s always better to score points, but I think I gave it my best. I also think it’s good that I was able to show what I can achieve in the new cars.”

“It’s now up to my manager and other teams who haven’t yet decided which drivers they’ll field next year to decide whether they want me or not. And they should want me.” And in his unmistakable style, when asked whether his chances of securing a seat had improved following his appearance at the Dutch Grand Prix, he said: “Give me a call!”
