Horner declined to answer a question about Tsunoda's future.

      Yuki Tsunoda has held seven Grands Prix with Red Bull Racing, and in only three of them has earned a total of seven points. Helmut Marko no longer hides his disappointment with such results, and team principal Christian Horner refused to answer a question about the prospects of the Japanese racer.

      While talking to the press in Barcelona, Horner was asked if Yuki Tsunoda would drive to Red Bull Racing before the end of the season. Christian replied to this: "I think I'll follow Flavio Briatore's example and say, 'I don't want to answer that question.'

      Listen, Yuki has recently joined the team and is still getting used to it. He has already reached the final of qualifying, earned points, but he also had accidents, so he still has a long way to go. We'll decide– we still have a lot of time for that.

      The only thing we can do is give him time, support, and find settings that will make him feel confident driving. Driving modern Formula 1 cars requires absolute confidence, which he continues to seek. I think he will succeed.

      Yuki is a fast racer, but he needs to put all the pieces together. We're seeing glimpses of his speed, and now we need to give him time to put all the pieces together. I think he's capable of doing that."
