Tsunoda: Over time, I will understand the features of the Red Bull car.
Yuki Tsunoda has completed six stages as a member of Red Bull Racing. The Japanese driver's results are still far from those of his teammate Max Verstappen, but Tsunoda remains optimistic. In Barcelona, Yuki said that he gradually understands the features of the car better and better.
Yuki Tsunoda: "I remain calm because I see progress in all aspects. I continue to learn the features of the car and gradually understand it better and better. You know, the hardest part is playing the last thousandths of a second.
When the condition of the track changes, you have to adjust the settings, and you want to know exactly how the car will behave after that. However, when you work with a new car, you now need real experience working with it in order to understand such things.
After four years at Racing Bulls, I understood how everything worked and could naturally adjust to the changes in the car and drive quickly. I think this understanding will come to me at Red Bull over time. I can't say that I've lost confidence in myself or anything like that. I'm just slowly getting used to a new car for myself, and at some point this understanding will come.
The Monaco stage was going quite well for me right up to qualifying, but the red flags led to things not going according to plan. I definitely could have done my lap better, and qualifying as a whole turned out to be difficult for me.
However, in the second and third practice sessions, I struggled in front and my pace was probably the best of all time, so I have the speed.
I do not know what the history of Red Bull's performances in Barcelona is, but I was told that Max won four times, so this is good news. But I will focus on my tasks, not on Max."
