Yuki Tsunoda: Rumors don't matter

      The other day the German publication Auto Motor und Sport ran an article saying that in 2026 Max Verstappen’s teammate will be Isack Hadjar, Arvid Lindblad will make his debut at Racing Bulls, and Yuki Tsunoda will be left without a seat at either team. In Baku, journalists asked the Japanese driver to comment on this information, but it turned out that Yuki was not aware of the latest reports: "I don't know what rumors you are talking about." When he was told, Yuki replied: "This has nothing to do with facts. I'm focused only on what I can influence. In a similar situation a year ago I was also focused only on the results. If I'm not mistaken, I said the same words. Rumors are just rumors. They don't matter because they are not facts. Let people gossip, and I will continue to stick to my opinion."
