Yuki Tsunoda on Bolida Red Bull: as a laboratory with a bunch of reagents
29.05.2025
The new pilot Red Bull compared the RB21 car with the laboratory. Yuki Tsunoda said how it was mastered in the car after the first week in Red Bull.
Now I am much calmer than last Thursday-of course, because there are less than [PR-] events, and a little more time to think about preparation and all that.
In addition, I know how the car behaves - at least a little better than last week. Everything is positive, we made a couple of changes - the position of the seat and all that, so I think everything will be fine with us.
I spent only four to five sessions-one might say four, because there were many red flags [on the Grand Prix of Japan]. You just have to drive more circles. However, the main conclusion regarding the settings is that a slightly different approach is needed in comparison with the Bulls rating.
I think, the car allows you to use a balance similar to the one I am used to the rating of bulls, but this does not always contribute to speed. I still need to dig - it is not clear which settings will make the car faster.
Sensations like in a laboratory with a bunch of reagents - sometimes everything goes well, sometimes bad. I suppose this is expected: when you jump into a completely new car, the situation is always unstable, ”said the Japanese pilot in front of the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Tsunoda spoke about the tasks for the upcoming weekend:
I want to break into the third segment and earn points. No matter how I want to declare a catwalk or something like that, we know that working with a machine is not so easy in the working window that allows you to achieve high speed.
I still have to learn a lot about the car, so if you manage to earn glasses or get closer to Max [Fersstappen] to help him in the race, get into the third segment, it will be a good goal.
Yuki Tsunoda: Surprisingly, with the current version of the settings, the machine is controlled well
