After the opening three races of 2024, Helmut Marko, who serves as Red Bull’s motorsport advisor, said that the current Yuki Tsunoda (RB Formula 1) had overcome all three challenges he had faced so far, saying, “It’s at a very high level.”
After the opening two races, Marco acknowledged Hiroki Tsunoda’s single-lap speed, but criticized him for being “too slow” in the race, but regardless of whether or not this fierceness was effective, he was unable to do so in the third race. At the Australian Grand Prix, Hiroki Tsunoda delivered a performance that left no room for critics to take advantage of him.

First, they defeated the Aston Martins and Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) in qualifying, breaking the stronghold of the top five teams, and in the final, they performed solidly, putting themselves in a position to make the most of the chance of the top three cars retiring. He finished 7th and gave RB his first points of the season.
In his column for Speedweek, Marco stated that Franz Tost, who led the Faenza team until last year, and himself had never doubted Hiroki Tsunoda’s speed and had “always believed in it.” He also pointed out that he had three problems: a lack of self-control, sudden outbursts, and a tendency to make mistakes.
However, this year, his fourth year in F1, he says that those problems have “all disappeared” and that he has grown into a presence that is now “recognized in the driver market,” hinting that rival teams are paying attention. Ta.
He emphasized that there was great value in achieving seventh place in a situation where it was “incredibly difficult” for the bottom five teams, including RB, to earn points.
He also touched on the fact that Yuki Tsunoda moved from Japan to Europe in his teens, and said that although it was difficult to adapt to different cultures, he overcame it and said, “Yuki is currently running at a very high level without making any mistakes.” He also wrote that a recent survey revealed that he is the “world’s most popular driver” among young people under the age of 18.
In an interview with Servus TV, he said of the race in Melbourne: “When Hulkenberg attacked him, he reacted instantly and was three seconds behind. Haas is a fast car, but Yuki was perfect all weekend. “We can confirm that he is a mature F1 driver. This gives us confidence for the future.”
Furthermore, he described him as a person with a truly unique character who “doesn’t like to put himself in a box”, and while he added that “some people don’t like that”, he stressed that what’s important is his speed as a driver. He said that Yuki Tsunoda has that.

Although Marco praised Hiroki Tsunoda from all angles, it was still a long way from sitting next to Max Verstappen, who is widely regarded as the strongest driver of all time.
In an interview with Britain’s AUTOSPORT, Marco praised his performance in Australia, saying, “He drove competitively every lap, didn’t do anything wrong and was calm.” Will his performance be a positive factor towards winning a seat at Red Bull in 2025 as Sergio Perez’s successor? When asked, he answered, “You shouldn’t jump to conclusions too quickly,” and added, “We need to make further improvements.”
