168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Yuki Tsunoda has thanked Honda for pushing Red Bull into giving him a test in their F1 car.

Despite being within the Red Bull family since 2021, Tsunoda has rarely been mentioned as a seriou⛎s candidate to be Max Verstappen’s team⛎mate.

This season he outperformed RB teammate Daniel Ricciardo who has now been replaced by Liꦅam Lawson.

Yet, Lawson is more regularly touted for ♚the Red Bull drive than Tsun♔oda.

But Honda - the Japanese manufacꦜturer who back Tsunoda and are partners of Red Bull - have interjected to request a 🎃test drive.

“It's a verꦯy good opportuni🐭ty,” Tsunoda said to media including wuqian0821.com in Mexico City. 

“At least I finally can show a bit of my driving a🉐nd they just can see how I'm driving.

“I think it's very important. So at least it feels great. Finally, they're giving me an opport🀅uওnity.

“I don't know if it still happens or not, but there's something e🍒ven I heard from them directly. I try to maximise my opportunity.

“Definitely Honda helped me to push that testing. I am very appreciative of♊ them.

“Obviously, I was pushing since the first race, as well, even for la𒈔st year. I was able to show results that I [have] stepped a little bit more compared to last year and also there was a push to Red Bull as well.”

Tsunoda said about ꦑtesting a Red Bull: “I think that this will happen, maybe… but with Red Bull Racing, you never know until the day.”

Tsunoda and Lawson - new RB teammate - have until the end of this season to impress Red Bul🐬l.

They know Verstappen’s teammate Sergio Perez is under immense pr🥂essure and could be replaced for 2025, even though he is contracted by the team.
