Yuki Tsunoda’s future with Red Bull is under scrutiny following a dramatic on-track confrontation with reigning world champion Max Verstappen. The incident, which unfolded during a high-stakes moment in the recent Grand Prix, has triggered internal evaluations at Red Bull Racing regarding Tsunoda’s performance and temperament.
Sources close to the team suggest that senior figures were “surprised and concerned” by Tsunoda’s aggressive move, which many interpreted as a direct challenge to team hierarchy. While no official penalty was issued, the tension has ignited speculation about whether Tsunoda will retain his seat next season or face demotion within the Red Bull driver program.
Christian Horner, Red Bull Team Principal, stated, “We’re constantly assessing all our drivers—not just their speed, but how they handle pressure, teamwork, and responsibility on the track.”
Tsunoda, known for his fiery driving style and vocal radio messages, remains defiant. “I race hard, always. That’s my nature. I respect Max, but I won’t just move aside,” he said post-race.
As Red Bull weighs its options ahead of next season, all eyes will be on Tsunoda to see whether he can rise above the controversy—or become the latest casualty in the team’s ruthless pursuit of perfection.
