Yuki Tsunoda
Yuki Tsunoda was referred to as the wonder boy of F1 before he made his F1 debut. It is because since his impressive points debut in Bahrain, he’s had a torrid time inside the car; crashing, swearing and being completely outclassed by his teammate. It’s led David Coulthard to predict that the young Japanese Driver will never go onto win a Championship
That sounds very harsh, especially considering the fact his fledgling F1 career is just four races old. And all the drivers who have switched teams, making their debuts or driving the F1 cars after a break have struggles this season mainly because of limited testing.
David Coulthard suggests Yuki Tsunoda needs to make use of his chances at Red Bull or F1 career is over
“I will predict that he’ll never win a championship,” Coulthard made the proclamation on F1 Podcast ‘On the Marbles.’
But the former Red Bull driver is backing his prophecy with some facts. He believes that Yuki Tsunoda’s outgoing personality is of no use if he can’t go fast. Especially in comparison to his AlphaTauri teammate.
David Coulthard said, “I think it is exciting to have a Japanese driver, to have someone that gets angry with everything and expresses that on the radio. But there’s a certain point where it’s not about personality contest, it’s about stop-watch. And he hasn’t been faster than Pierre Gasly, so far and Pierre wasn’t as fast as Max.”
“Putting to one side, his refreshing interviews until such time that he’s out-qualifying and out-performing Pierre…”
Another interesting thing that Coulthard shed light on was in relation to the Red Bull academy. It has brought a number of top drivers like Sebastian Vettel, Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo through. On the other hand, if you don’t make it at Red Bull, you won’t have a career elsewhere.
