Yuki TSUNODA

Yuki Tsunoda was a Japanese Formula 1 driver active from 2021 to 2025. Over his five-year career, he competed in 114 Grands Prix, representing teams such as RB F1 Team and AlphaTauri before finishing with Racing Bulls. Despite consistent participation, Tsunoda did not secure any championships, race wins, podiums, or pole positions.

Throughout his tenure, Tsunoda accumulated 124 points with a modest average qualifying position of 12.7 and gained an average of 0.1 positions per race. His reliability was relatively high, with a DNF rate of 8.8%. Notably, he recorded one fastest lap but did not achieve any notable success in wet weather conditions. His win and podium rates remained at 0%, reflecting the challenges he faced in breaking into the sport's top ranks.

Tsunoda’s career is marked by steady midfield performances rather than standout results. His participation during a competitive era highlights the difficulty for emerging drivers to secure top finishes amid established teams and drivers. With a career span of five years and over 100 races, Tsunoda contributed to the presence of Japanese drivers in Formula 1 but did not reach the sport’s highest competitive milestones.
