Yuki tsunoda will drive for the team from next season Alpha Tauri and thus became the first Japanese in Formula 1 after 2014 and Kamui Kobayashi. tsunoda will compete in Formula 1 after a great season in Formulas 2, in which as a rookie with three wins he won third place in the overall standings.
"It was a great pleasure to work with him," he said Carlin. "We only had him on the team for one season and he did everything, even more than we expected."
“Time will tell where he will end up in the overall standings, but I think he has a very exciting future ahead of him. I see no reason why I should not be able to repeat what Lando Norris is doing, and you never know, Yuki could even succeed in what Max Verstappen is doing. ”
"If he manages to understand the Formula 1 car as fast as he understood the Formula 2 car, I think Pierre will be in serious competition after returning to Europe," he said Trevor Carlin.
tsunoda in F1 comes third in the F2 Championship, one place lower than Norris, who also drove for the team Carlinwhen he finished second in 2018. Norris was the last driver from Carlin’s team to move to F1 so far.
“Yuki is about learning very fast. He lacks some experience in the F1 compared to the Land, but his overall pace and understanding of racing car driving is there. He is ready, ” he added Carlin.
Team Carlin has so far “sent” 1 drivers to Formula 27. tsunoda is the last on this list. From a Japanese man who has strong support behind him Honda in Red Bull Racing, a lot is expected in the next Formula 1 season.
