168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda has revealed the target he has been set by Red Bull as he gears up for his F1 debut with the team.

Tsunoda has earned a shock promotion to Red Bull from this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix after the main team ruthlessly decided to swap out 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson following a dreadful two-race stint.

Lawson originally got the nod over Tsunoda to partner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen for 2025🤡 after Sergio Perez was axed, but the 23-year-old Kiwi has been sent back to sis🧸ter team Racing Bulls for the rest of the season.

Lawson qualified 18th and crashed out of the season-opener in Australia before twice qualifying last ♑in China and going on to finish༺ a lowly 14th and 12th in the sprint and main grand prix.

In contrast, Tsunoda had enjoyed a fine start to the season for Racing Bulls, prompting Red Bull to make an 𓃲unprecedented early♛ driver change.

Tsunoda says Red Bull t♔eam principal Christian Horner has set him the target of getting as “close as possible” to Verstappen inꦯ Japan.

"In the end Red Bull Racin♔g are focused on Max scoring a drivers' championship," Tsunoda told.

"He has proven himself to have good potential to be🍨 a world champion - even though Red Bull seems to be struggling a little now.

"Performance-wise he [Horner] wants me to be as close to Max as posꦅsible.

"In some races I ♛can help with the strategy🧸 but he also promised me in some situations that if I'm able to be in front of Max that he wouldn't necessarily ask me to swap positions and make Max win.”

Tsunoda not concerned about Verstappen relationship

Verstappen is 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史♌:unhappy about Red Bull’s decision, with the Dutchman li🎐king an Instagram post from former F1 driver Gied൲o van Der Garde which criticised the move.

Tsunoda says he 𓃲has yet to speak to Verstappen since his promoဣtion was confirmed but has no concerns about their relationship.

"I mentioned in the p♎ast quite a while ago but he's a bit different from how he behaves in the car and outside of the car," he said.

"I'm not really worrying about the relationship we're going to have in both sides. I🐻 know what I want to do and probably how he drives and how he thinks.”

Tsunoda has ꦦset himself a minimum t🌸arget of scoring points at his home race.

"O🅘bviously I want to say points or a podium or whatever,” he added.

"But at the same time, realistically,🐈 you think about jumping into the new car straight away with limited sessions, that's pretty tough.

"I think what I can say for now is if I can score points - top 10 - I'll💃 be happy."
