Scuderia AlphaTauri F1 team principal Franz Tost says Yuki Tsunoda will “get it together” as he enters his third season in F1. With the departure of veteran Pierre Gasly and the arrival of rookie Nick de Vries, the dynamics of the AlphaTauri F1 team have changed this year.
Nick de Vries is still in his first year, but he is older than Yuki Tsunoda and has experience in other categories and knowledge of other F1 teams. Franz Tost hopes that newcomer Nick de Vries will do well. Yuki Tsunoda could face competition from other drivers looking to move up the Red Bull ranks in the long term, and Franz Tost is also hopeful of a successful season. About Yuki Tsunoda’s efforts this season: “He needs to avoid an accident and use his good driving style, aggressive driving style and talent because I believe that Yuki is very high. Because I believe that I am a skilled driver, “said Franz Tost. “He’s got to do well. He’s in his third season now. I think he’s learned a lot in the last two years and he’s still young. He’s done really well under his new coach , especially in terms of physical strength, and I hope Yuki doesn’t break down!” Franz Tost said with Yuki Tsunoda at the helm. Admitting that he had to deal with his emotions while away, he delivered colorful radio messages that have become his trademark. “Yuki had just entered F1 and was very young,” said Franz Tost. “And when things don’t go his way, he gets emotional. I told him it’s not very good. Being emotional takes away your concentration and energy when driving. “I’d rather concentrate more on driving the car than shouting at the radio. Anyway, it won’t help anyone.” It’s more important to focus on being in. “You can find out later if there was a problem. What happened in the car is already in the past tense, so it’s happening now.” It’s more important to focus on what’s happening.” Franz Tost, when asked if this was a year of competition for Yuki Tsunoda, said, “I wouldn’t say it was a year of competition, but of course he has to show his performance. If you do that, you will definitely be getting good results. “There are no number one or number two drivers,” insisted Franz Tost. “Both drivers are treated equally. We will soon find out who will lead technically, because Yuki has more F1 experience. “Nick generally has more racing experience. I think they work very closely together and at least I hope I can get the best out of both of them.”
