Red Bull has officially confirmed a major shake-up in its driver lineup, with Yuki Tsunoda set to replace Daniel Ricciardo at RB (formerly AlphaTauri). This move comes amid growing speculation about Ricciardo’s future, following a series of underwhelming performances in the 2025 Formula 1 season.
Tsunoda, who has shown significant improvement over the past few years, now gets a chance to further prove himself as a key figure in Red Bull’s long-term plans. His promotion signals Red Bull’s continued investment in young talent, with the team believing he has the potential to challenge for podiums in the near future.
Meanwhile, the biggest surprise came with the announcement of a “legendary return” to the Red Bull senior team. Reports suggest this could be four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel, who has been linked to a comeback since retiring in 2022. While details remain scarce, Vettel’s return would electrify the F1 grid and reunite him with the team where he won four consecutive titles from 2010 to 2013.
As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Tsunoda to see how he handles the increased pressure. At the same time, Ricciardo’s next move remains uncertain, with rumors linking him to a potential switch to another series or a reserve role within Red Bull.
With this dramatic shake-up, Red Bull has once again proven its willingness to make bold moves to stay at the top of Formula 1.
