Yuki Tsunoda will not return to Red Bull Racing after the current season, as GPblog was able to report this Tuesday after talks with various sources. The dilemma Helmut Marko faces now is: Who will accompany Max Verstappen in 2026?

If Red Bull can fire, Guenther Steiner has warned Yuki Tsunoda he won't be spared if the team feels he's not doing the job.

Tsunoda now faces the daunting task of overhauling his form at the British Grand Prix. The Kanagawa-born racer was replaced by teenage sensation Arvid Lindblad in FP1, who may form part of the domino effect that could eventually oust Red Bull ’s incumbent second driver.
