Honda Confirms Yuki Tsunoda Stays at Red Bull Through 2025 Season

News summary

Despite Yuki Tsunoda's challenging debut season with Red Bull Racing, Honda Racing Corporation president Koji Watanabe has confirmed there are no plans to replace the Japanese driver during the 2025 Formula 1 summer break. Tsunoda has struggled to adapt to the RB21 car and has scored points in only a few races, trailing teammate Max Verstappen significantly. However, both Honda and Red Bull remain supportive, emphasizing a long-term view on Tsunoda's development and expressing confidence that improved car performance could enhance results in the second half of the season. Honda's backing of Red Bull will end after 2025, with the manufacturer moving its works support to Aston Martin in 2026, though Watanabe indicated Tsunoda is free to pursue opportunities with other teams beyond Honda's involvement. While rumors have linked Tsunoda to reserve driver roles at Aston Martin or potential moves to teams like Cadillac or Haas, Honda denies any current discussions about such changes and stresses its continued support for Tsunoda through the end of the year. This stance reflects Red Bull's sustained high expectations for the 25-year-old driver despite the team's overall struggles with the RB21 car's performance.
