Tsunoda will try to help his teammate win the title.

      Yuki Tsunoda intends to take points off rivals and thereby help his teammate Max Verstappen win the title. The Japanese Red Bull Racing driver hopes this will help him keep his seat with the team next season.

      Yuki Tsunoda: "The weekend in Austin was mixed for me, but I had a good sprint and race and scored points. I'm definitely on the right track and have improved in many areas. I am confident in what I'm doing and continue to attack to keep scoring points.

      I believe we have the potential to finish second in the Constructors' Championship, and Max has the potential to become world champion. So I will try to get ahead of his rivals and help as much as I can.

      As I said, I am confident in what I'm doing and in the situation I'm in. I'm trying to give my maximum to become better and score points. So I keep doing what I'm doing.

      The team will choose the driver line-up it wants, but I think I've already improved a lot and continue to prove that I deserve to be in this team or another team next year."
