“Same mood, Yuki…we are not ready”: F1 fans react to Yuki Tsunoda’s “sad” photo amidst news of Pierre Gasly leaving AlphaTauri 

The current Formula One season is almost at the last leg of its calendar, and the driver lineup for next year for many teams have already been declared. Only a few months ago, the drivers’ market drama broke out as Sebastian Vettel announced his retirement from F1 at the end of 2022, and Fernando Alonso declared he is shifting to the German’s seat at Aston Martin. Now, it has been recently revealed that Pierre Gasly is going to replace Alonso at his French team, leaving Yuki Tsunoda as the senior driver at AlphaTauri.

Fans have always fawned over the perfect pairing of Yuki Tsunoda, who debuted with AlphaTauri in 2020, and Pierre Gasly, who came back to the Italian outfit following a demotion from Red Bull in 2019. Quite a few of them are upset that the team will be broken at the end of the current season, and when the admin of the AlphaTauri official Twitter page shared a photo of Yuki looking forlorn, their followers reacted to it with their comments.

Thanks to AlphaTauri’s extensive media coverage and the repeated appearances of Yuki Tsunoda in Pierre Gasly’s photo dump from the race weekends, fans have gathered that the two racers are thick as thieves. But unfortunately, Gasly’s contract with the Italian team is coming to an end now, which means, there will be less content featuring both him and Yuki in the same frame. And fans are not ready for it.

Thus, when AlphaTauri posted a picture showing Yuki looking a little forlorn with the caption “When you realise you’ve only got two races left with your bro“, fans flooded the post with their reactions–

AlphaTauri’s performance in the current season has been abysmal when compared to their results in 2020. But with the addition of Nyck de Vries to the team, it is believed that the Italian outfit will have some great scores to look forward to in the upcoming F1 2023 Championship.
