“Great that the fans could witness that,”: Yuki Tsunoda happy to see Max Verstappen crowned 2022 World Champion in Japan
Yuki and Max
Yuki Tsunoda, the AlphaTauri team driver, has recently talked about the Japanese Grand Prix where Max Verstappen was confirmed as the 2022 World Champion.
The Red Bull family including Tsunoda was happy for Max Verstappen, but the Japanese driver was not pleased with his own outing in front of his home fans.
The 22-year-old started his race from P13, however, despite starting close to the Top 10, was not able to make much of an impressing during his outing in the wet conditions.
While stressing about his outing Tsunoda said, “I think that I did the best I could and extracted the most from the car, but the pace just wasn’t there.”
Yuki Tsunoda has revealed that during the race at the Suzuka International Race Course, he was able to extract the maximum performance out of the car but feels that his AT03 lacked pace in comparison to the other cars on the track.
The AlphaTauri starlet started from P13 and finished in the same position as he was not able to become much of a nuisance to the cars ahead of him.

I’ve really enjoyed my first experience of driving an F1 car around my home track and I want to say a huge thank you to all the fans that have come out to support both myself and the team, especially in these rainy conditions.”
“Big congrats to Max for winning the World Championship – it’s great that the Japanese fans have been able to witness that here!“
Tsunoda is grateful to the fans for showing up in huge numbers during the three-day extravaganza and has further added that he is happy that Max was crowned champion in front of the Japanese supporters.
