Honda Racing president Koji Watanabe has revealed that he asked Red Bull for clarification on Yuki Tsunoda 's future with the F1 team at the British Grand Prix. Tsunoda joined Red Bull in March having had four full seasons with the team's junior outfit Racing Bulls, but he has only scored seven points from 10 races with the main team.

As Max Verstappen looks increasingly likely to remain at Red Bull for 2026, attention is shifting to who will partner him and whether Yuki Tsunoda can hold onto his seat. The 25-year-old Japanese driver has struggled throughout 2025 so far and continues to trail Verstappen in both results and development priority.

Max Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda have spoken up about the upcoming race at Spa Francorchamps with new Red Bull team boss Laurent Mekies.
