Japanese driver signs up for 2023 after promising first two F1 seasons.
Per a release from Scuderia AlphaTauri, Yuki Tsunoda will remain with the team for the 2023 season, following his first promising two years in Formula One.
While there is uncertainty of who will be his teammate in 2023, Tsunoda has been a great fit with the team and their sister team, Red Bull Racing where he has participated in several fun off the track experiences with reigning champion Max Verstappen.
The Japanese driver, who already has 38 F1 race weekends under his belt, had an accelerated path to the Championship. He rose quickly through the lower formulas and, during his rookie season in F1, proved that he was a force to be reckoned with; finishing the final race of 2021 with a top-four finish.
“I want to say a huge thank you to Red Bull, Honda and Scuderia AlphaTauri for continuing to give me the opportunity to drive in F1,” said Tsunoda in the release. “Having moved to Italy last year to be closer to the factory, I really feel part of the team and am glad that I get to carry on racing with them in 2023. Of course, our 2022 season isn’t over yet and we’re still pushing hard in the midfield battle, so I’m fully focused on finishing it on a high and then we will look forward to next year.”
