168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda has revealed that a 'couple of teams reached out' before he decided to commit to VCARB for the 2025 F1 season.

Tsunoda has enjoyed a strong campaign for VCARB, generally out-performing veteran teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo.

Despite his good form in the first half of the year, Tsunoda wasn’t thought to be in contention to replace 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez at Red Bull.

Tsunoda reportedly attracted interest from Sauber/Audi as they assessed options if they missed out on 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz.

Speaking on the latest episode of the podcast, Ts🅷unoda reflected on his impressive🌳 season so far.

“Keep doing whꦍat I am doing I guess. I started to show my value this year from the beginning ofꦍ the season,” he said. 

“Also a couple of teams reached [out] to me and talked about different directions. I never had that things last year, especially first years. Jusꦚt need to consistently keep deliverinꦗg the results.

“So far I am able to achieve that but ꦡthis is the first year I am showing my full potential, good results, consistently. I know that there’s a lot of things I can improve.

“Still a lot of things to come from myself. Just have to show to every team principal or every team that I am a good driver and I c𓆉an achieve a lot of things.ไ”

Despite being overlooked by Red Bull again, Tsunoda insists his “mainꦕ priority” is the🐼 Milton Keynes outfit.

“The main priority is Red Bull Racing,” he added. “It’s one thing I am aiming since I joined F1. The car is one of the fastest cars right now. I mean, currꦺently, probably McꩲLaren is a little bit faster.

“I just want to drive with their car at some point and show my potential tꦑo drive top four, top three, top two, whatever. A🧸t the same time, if that can’t be achieved or maybe they’re happy with the drivers.

“Also I want to drive at some point in🍨 the consistent top five. Hopefully the VCARB will be a෴ble to achieve that. We are progressing a lot. We stepped a lot forward. I try to help them as much as possible.”

Tsunoda could be a potential ♋Aston Martin target in the future, particularly as they will be powered 💙by Honda in 2026.

The Japanese driver conceded tha🌞t if another good opportuni♍ty comes up, he could consider it.

“Still, if another team might be interested or able to match how I think or what they think, then why not? 🌠But I am just focusing right now on what I have to do. Keep delivering the results to impress all of the people,” he concluded.
