168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda has acknowledged the scale of the challenge facing him as he prepares to make his Red Bull debut at the F1 Japanese Grand Prix.

Tsunoda has received a dream promotion into the second Red Bull seat following the team’s brutal decision to ditch168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Liam Lawson following his 𓆏troubled two-race stay with th🤪e senior team.

23-year-old Lawson will return to Racing Bulls - Red Bull’s sister team - after being axed just two races into the new F1 season and having failed to adapt to th🤪e team’s challenging RB21 car.

That has given the 24-year-old Japanese racer the opportunity to have the shot he feels he has always deserved in becoming168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Max Verstappen’s teammate at Red Bull.

Tsunoda has only had a couple of sessions in Red Bull’s simulat💮or and🌜 has admitted that his first challenge will be to get to grips with the RB21, and fast.

"It’s been a bit of a crazy week! I was happy when I was told the news I would be driving for Oracle Red Bull Racing, my main emotions were excitement and motivation,” Tsunoda said ahead of his home race at S𓃲uzuka.

“I feel hono𒈔ured to be driving for the Team. To make my debut for Oracle Red Bull Racing at my home race in Japan makes it even more crazy. This week is going be insane, it’s a mix of pressure for the challenge and excitement. This is a huge step for my career and what I want to achieve.

“The message from the Team has been to 🐈keep doing what you’re doing and perform. I need to be as close to Max as possible to try and c❀ompete for the Constructors’ title and benefit the Team strategically in every race.

“I am aware of the challenges the RB21 has and my job is to try to understand it and develop this car too. My first challenge is to get to grips with this car, I have ꦍdriven it on the sim but my first tওime will be in practice, so I have to get up to speed quickly.

“I’ಌve been working with my new team in the UK over the last week to prepare as best I can and I will continue that ethic once we get to Suzuka.

"I will tꦑake learnin💎gs from Max and try and get the most from this weekend for the Team. My goal is to drive fast, give lots of feedback and make the car better.”

There will be huge excitement and expectation surrounding Tsunoda’s Red B🐻ull debut a🌟s he races in front of his home crowd.

Red Bull’s Helmut Marko has168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: seemingly eased the pressure on Tsunoda by ruling out further driver changes at the team th�♚�is year.

"Yuki Tsunoda will f♍inish the season,” Marko told Formel1.de.

"Yuki Tsuไnoda is a fast driver, we know that, but he's had his ups and downs. That’s why we thought Lawson was the better and stronger candidate.

“But Yuki has undergone a transformation. He changed his management♚, an꧃d in this situation, this was simply the best option.”
