Yuki Tsunoda

As a fan, I cannot help rooting for Yuki Tsunoda. Born in Sagamihara, raised in Tokyo, karting from age nine and into Formula One by 2021, he carried the weight of being Japan's standard-bearer in the sport's top tier as a full-time driver through 2025. At 161 cm he is tiny next to most of the grid, yet nothing about his driving or his blunt, often hilarious team radio is small. There is a grit to him that makes him easy to like. Promoted to Red Bull in 2025 and now serving as reserve for Red Bull and Racing Bulls, he keeps showing resilience. I want to see him keep scrapping and racing on his own loud, fearless terms.
