Christian Horner claims Yuki Tsunoda has ‘learned’ from Daniel Ricciardo at RB

Yuki Tsunoda has continued to perform better than his Australian counterpart Daniel Ricciardo. However, the 24-year-old was rumored to exit RB and join the Haas team due to no chance of promotion. Regardless, Tsunoda has extended his contract by one year. Amidst this, Christian Horner reckoned that the Japanese driver learned a lot from Ricciardo.

Christian Horner claimed that Tsunoda would openly admit that he learned a few things from Daniel Ricciardo due to the latter’s experience.

I think [Tsunoda will] openly admit that he’s learned from Daniel in terms of having an experienced driver and how they interact with the team and the engineers.
Christian Horner said, as reported by planetf1.com.

RB has maintained a consistent performance in the ongoing 2024 season. The team is currently showcasing some improvement in their performance. However, Faenza still has a lot of work to do in order to score a comfortable finish. The upcoming races before the summer break will be crucial for the Italian outfit.
