Has Yuki Tsunoda hinted at Red Bull driver decision over AlphaTauri F1 2024 line-up?

Yuki Tsunoda has suggested that Daniel Ricciardo would be the risk-free choice for AlphaTauri’s 2024 driver line-up given he has greater experience in F1 than Liam Lawson. 
Has Tsunoda hinted at Red Bull driver decision over AlphaTauri line-up?

Tsunoda, Ricciardo and Lawson are in a three-way tussle for the two av🦂ailable seats at AlphaTauri for next year, with all three aꩵppearing to have a solid case.

Lawson’s stunning performance to chalk 💎up AlphaTauri’s best result of the season with a ninth-place finish at the Singapore Grand Prix has put the 21-year-old New Zealander well in the frame. 

But it remains to be seen if📖 AlphaTauri will favour the experience of Ricciardo, who is still recovering from a broken hand he sustained in just his secജond race after completing a sensational return to F1.

It has been reported that Tsunoda is168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: closing on a ne💝w deal to retain his seat, but 💙there has🐎 been no official confirmation from AlphaTauri as yet. 

Asked about his own future and who his teammate will be next season ahead of this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix, Tsunoda replied: ꩲ“It’s not confirmed. I don’t know, to be honest I think both perspectives are a positive.

“Daniel brings definitely more experience and he showed a lot of feedback. Comparison is really good. He definitely can tell more details about how the c💮ar is behaving so I think it helps a lot for the engineers.

“And I think he likes it, especially how he talks a🍸nd how he helps the development side. So if the team wants to develop the car more to be competitive, maybe Daniel.

“But at the same time Liam, I think he showed in his first two or three races that he immediately h⭕as performance and probably he’s still progressing.

“So on the performance side, obviously I’ve just done two races with Daniel and it was not really probably the best time for AlphaTauri a🦹s well.

“But in the last two races, when Liam actually came into Formula 1, the car 🅰was pretty good in Monza and Singapore. So actually, he had a good time as well but at the same time he definitely performed well.

“So I think for AlphaTauri itself, we know this is a junior team, but at the same time there’s a bit more of a risk if we think about the results in gene🌺ral.

“So if they want more results, probably Daniel would be more easier as he has more experienc🎃e to extract the results maybe. But also Liam has done the best [result].”

The Japanese driver said he was t🐭oo “scared to say” which driver would be a better option and joked that AlphaTauri should run three🤡 cars to solve the problem. 

“I think Liam also is the best sco💮rer. He got ninth, I’ve never done n♈inth,” he added. 

“I’ll 🐬stop here. Maybe Liam ๊and Daniel - three seats.”
