Former team boss Trevor Carlin believes that if Red Bull is considering replacing Sergio Perez next season, they should give the opportunity to Yuki Tsunoda instead of Daniel Ricciardo. Tsunoda, currently racing for AlphaTauri, previously competed for Carlin in Formula 2, impressing with his performance and character.
Carlin spoke highly of Tsunoda, stating that the Japanese driver is committed, talented, and brings a unique character to the team. He praised Tsunoda’s ability to extract everything out of the car, despite some rookie mistakes in his first year in Formula 2. Carlin believed Tsunoda had the potential to win the championship if not for those errors.
