Yuki Tsunoda will be a Racing Bulls driver in 2025 according to Helmut Marko
Queried about the future of Racing Bulls for 2025, Helmut Marko, Red Bull's advisor in charge of young drivers, left no doubt. The current driver will be Yuki Tsunoda.
The Silly Season is in full swing. As the future of the drivers begins to unfold more and more, it is Yuki Tsunoda’s turn to make headlines. His contract ends at the end of the season, yet his presence at Racing Bulls in 2025 is a given according to Helmut Marko. “For Yuki, it’s done, it’s clear,” he slipped. A well-deserved place for the young driver who is in his 4th season with the Red Bull’s sister team and currently ranks 10th in the drivers’ championship, the best result of his career.
However, Yuki Tsunoda had suggested that he could leave the Austrian outfit if not promoted at Red Bull. “I have great loyalty to Red Bull because without them, I wouldn’t be here.” “If I have an interesting offer that could be better than [RB] or Red Bull’s, I would consider it,” he said in recent weeks.
Who for the 2nd seat?
Despite Helmut Marko’s statements, neither Yuki Tsunoda nor his garage neighbor, Daniel Ricciardo, have extended their contract officially. If this rumor about the Japanese turned out to be true, we would then expect a certain competition between Ricciardo and the current reserve driver of the team, Liam Lawson, for the second seat.
He is present at every race and we are in close contact, confirmed Marko.
