Yuki Tsunoda will stay with RB in 2025. The team made the announcement on Saturday, around thirty minutes before the start of qualifying for the Canadian Grand Prix.

“It’s a good feeling to decide what’s next for me so quickly this year,” said the main person concerned in a press release released by the team. “The team has a big development project ahead of them and I’m excited to be a part of it. It’s nice to know that everyone appreciates my work and that the team believes that I can help move forward on the grid. »

Tsunoda, who has shown great consistency again this season, has finished in the points in five of the eight races of the campaign so far. His best results are two seventh places in Australia and Miami.

“The step forward he has taken this season is simply phenomenal and he continues to surprise us all, race after race,” said team principal Laurent Mekies.

“There is no doubt about his natural speed, to which he has now added a much more mature approach. This combination makes him a very fast and consistent driver, as well as an excellent team player. We continue to better understand what he needs from us and vice versa, so we move forward together. »
