After describing 2025 as the ‘toughest year of my career’, Yuki
Tsunoda was thrilled to make his F1 comeback with Racing Bulls
after the summer break – stepping in for Liam Lawson while he
fills in for the injured Isack Hadjar at Red Bull.

Speaking to Tom Clarkson, Yuki gives a very honest account of
his struggles at Red Bull last season – revealing how it
affected him personally, the biggest mistake he made and what
it really felt like when he found out he wouldn’t be on the
grid in 2026.

Or so it would seem… Yuki received the call that he’d be back
racing in Zandvoort just three days before the first practice
session, so he takes Tom inside the chaotic week that ensued,
how he prepared to drive the 2026 cars for the first time at
such short notice, and what it meant to score points in the
second race of his comeback at Monza.

And while Yuki’s unsure how many more races he’ll compete in
this season as Isack recovers, Tom asks him what the future
holds from 2027 onwards.
