Tsunoda: My future depends on the results

      Yuki Tsunoda is not entirely satisfied with the current situation, he was again refused a transfer to Red Bull Racing, so he will spend his fifth season in the second team of the concern, where he will become a mentor for the young Isaac Hajjar.

      On Thursday in Melbourne, Yuki said he was in the same position as last season, when Daniel Ricciardo joined the team as a more experienced driver, but he knew the car much worse.

      Yuki Tsunoda: "This year I will become the number one, a more experienced rider, which increases responsibility and expectations, but last year at the beginning of the season it was about the same. I wasn't as experienced as my teammate Daniel Ricciardo, but I was in the team for the fourth season in a row and I knew a lot more about the car and all the procedures.

      Of course, I am ready to help the team, and I understand that my future depends on my results. However, this has always been the case."

      Tsunoda's young partner Isaac Hajjar is pleased that the Japanese has become a kind of mentor for him.…

      Isaac Hajjar: "Yuki is very fast. Every time we go out on the highway, we have a good reference point to compare ourselves with. He doesn't hide anything, he shares a lot, I just need to come up and ask.

      Getting the base speed is not that difficult, but the last few tenths are the hardest to achieve. Time will tell, but it's obvious that I'll win them back soon."
