After missing out on a Red Bull move for F1 2025, VCARB’s Yuki Tsunoda is now under new management. And his new representative has wasted no time in looking to “build a relationship” with Red Bull senior advisor and driver programme boss Helmut Marko.

With the new season fast approaching, Tsunoda dismissed any ill feelings toward Red Bull, admitting he’s “parked” anything from last year. Tsunoda hinted that he was already mentally prepared to be overlooked by Red Bull for 2025, meaning he could avoid being angry or disappointed.

"Letting him go" might tie into rumours that Tsunoda's key supporter, Honda, could push for a move to Aston Martin next year. Yet an Aston Martin spokesperson emphasized that Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll are locked in for 2025 and 2026.
