Alpine opted to replace 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso with Gasly for F1 2023, making Tsunoda the senior figure at AlphaTauri.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nyck de Vries, who is 28, was expected to lead the team heading into the season given his wealth of experience in motorsport, however, Tsu🌸noda has stepped up significantly.

Gasly and Tsunoda spent two years as teammates and shared a very 🃏close relationship,🦂 often compared to an older and younger brother dynamic.

Clarkson has hinted that Gasly’s ⛄departure from AlphaTaur💙i has allowed Tsunoda to flourish.

“I’m a massive fan of Yuki Tsunoda,” Clarkson said on the F1 Nation podcast. “I think he is evolving into a brilliant racing driver an𒉰d a character. But I also think I feel that there’s more purpose to Yuki this year, it’s like he’s reset over the winter.

“[Was] Pierre Gasly a distraction? I just sort of feel that Yuki🎃 has grown as a professional sportsman this year.

“It’s like he set himself some goals. He’s no longer just▨ happy to be in Formula 1, he now wants t🎃o achieve something in Formula 1 and I think he’s grown as a person and as a racing driver.”

Tsunoda has been one of 2023’s star performe🧔rs despite AlphaTauri struggling for🅷 outright pace.

Hiꦕs good form has linked him with a potential move to Red Bull in the future, potentially fo🎃r 2025.

Tsunoda was also mooted as a potential option for Aston Martin, who will be powered by Japanese manufacturer Ho💙n♛da from 2026.
