On the other hand, former Williams driver Jack Aitken offered a different perspective, noting that Tsunoda’s strong performance in Belgium had helped him regain some lost momentum. He observed that Tsunoda’s performance contrasted with Ricciardo’s challenging race, which was not entirely the Australian’s fault.
Aitken also pointed out that Ricciardo had quickly adapted to the team, positioning himself as an experienced driver around whom the team was gravitating. Prior to the Belgian Grand Prix, there were doubts about Tsunoda’s future within the Red Bull franchise, particularly between Red Bull Racing and AlphaTauri. However, Aitken suggested that Tsunoda had managed to make a positive impression and regain some lost ground with his performance in Belgium.
