Yuki Tsunoda‘s woeful weekend at the Mexican GP continued as the Japanese driver faced an extremely disappointing incident on Lap 1. Tsunoda was already unable to clear the Q2 qualifying session after he crashed towards the end. Amidst the 23-year-old’s chances of promotion to Red Bull racing, such performances might put the driver’s future under question.
The Mexican GP turned out to be disastrous for Yuki Tsunoda as he was unable to score any points. Tsunoda’s Q2 elimination and a DNF heading into Turn 1 of Lap 1 might be a nail in the coffin for his dreams of moving up to Red Bull racing.
Alex Albon was also caught in the crossfire of Yuki Tsunoda’s collision. Both drivers faced elimination on Lap 1, ending their woeful weekends. The incident caused a safety car as the stewards fastened up the process of cleaning up the track. Moreover, officials will look into the matter to assess the damage and fault of the driver in the incident.

Yuki Tsunoda’s chances of moving to Red Bull weaken after a disastrous Mexican GP outing
Sergio Perez‘s woeful performances throughout the 2024 season have put the Mexican’s future under extreme fire from most people on the grid. Perez is highly likely to be ousted from the team by the coming season and replaced by an RB driver. Yuki Tsunoda was rumored to test for Red Bull following the culmination of the 2024 season.
Liam Lawson has also put forth promising results after replacing Daniel Ricciardo at the US GP. Hence, both drivers will have to perform better than the other to move up the Red Bull chain. Tsunoda has put forth a highly consistent performance this season compared to his Aussie counterpart.
Yuki Tsunoda greatly deserves a move up the Red Bull family despite a contract extension for one year. Moreover, Tsunoda’s performance has also granted him to be considered for rival teams on the grid. Hence, time will tell about the 23-year-old’s future fares with the Austrian constructor in Formula 1.
