Should Yuki Tsunoda be considered for a 2027 F1 drive?

Yuki Tsunoda's one-off return at Zandvoort last weekend was a timely reminder of what the Japanese driver can offer. 

Standing in for Liam Lawson at Racing Bulls after Isack Hadjar's wrist injury, Tsunoda qualified 12th, ran inside the top 10 during the race, and narrowly missed out on points with an 11th-place finish.

Not bad for someone who had driven just four times in eight months. "I think I was able to progress faster than I expected," Tsunoda said afterwards. "I think I did pretty okay."

Tsunoda has spent five full seasons within the Red Bull family, debuting with AlphaTauri in 2021 before staying through the Racing Bulls rebrand and eventually earning a promotion alongside Max Verstappen at Red Bull Racing in 2025. 

Despite 111 career starts, he was moved into a reserve role for 2026 and has been watching from the sidelines since.

He made no secret of his intentions after Sunday's race: "They should call me!"
