Yuki Tsunoda is back behind the wheel for the Dutch GP, stepping in for Racing Bulls after an injury — and it’s his first time driving the brand-new 2026 car. Despite feeling like a rookie adjusting to everything from brake pressure to tire management, he stunned everyone by qualifying twelfth in the Sprint race, just shy of his teammate. The wet conditions helped mask his inexperience, and while he’s proud of his performance, he knows there’s still plenty to learn. Compared to last year’s blistering machines, this new car demands a whole new mindset — especially with its high downforce and tricky corners. The team is keeping things light, helping him build confidence session by session, as he aims to keep Racing Bulls’ winning streak alive. He’s embracing the steep learning curve — and ready to prove he can still compete at the highest level.
