Tsunoda used Verstappen's settings.
Yuki Tsunoda scored no points in his first race with Red Bull Racing. In Bahrain, the Japanese racer said that he used Max Verstappen's settings in an attempt to get more speed from the car.
"When I first got behind the wheel of the car, everything was fine, but it's too early to tell if I'm comfortable or not," Yuki said Thursday in Bahrain. – I think I managed to manage the balance of the car, although most of the drivers had problems with it.
In fact, I relied more on Max's settings, which turned out to be quite good. But I have to say that it's incredible how he manages to fly with such settings.
The approach to work at Red Bull Racing is different from Racing Bulls. If Racing Bulls tells you right away how to act, then Red Bull can adjust your actions after the first lap. I'm not saying that any approach is worse or better, it's just that it's different.
Racing Bulls is easier for a driver in some ways, so I'll probably have to take the time to figure out how to proceed. It's an ongoing process of finding ways to get better, to make things a little easier for me."
