168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda will get the chance to drive Red Bull’s RB20 F1 car at the end-of-season test in Abu Dhabi.

The 24-year-old Japanese racer, who drives for Red Bull’s sister squad RB, will finally get a ꦏchance to test current Red Bull machinery at the post-season test following the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in December.

Tsunoda's only previous outing in a Red Buღll car came at the Goodwood Festival of Speed when he drove the RB18.

Honda have been pushing for Tsunoda to get the chance♍ to prove himself in a Red Bull and team principal Christian Horner has now confirmed that a test will happen.

"Yuki is a member of the junior team, and it's something that we have discussed with Honda," Horner told media including in Friday’ꦰs FIA press conference 𝓀at the Mexico City Grand Prix. 

"He will test the car at the tyre tesℱt following the conclusion of the season, and it𝔍's something that has been agreed for quite some time.

"It will again be good to give him a run, and gꩲet the opportunity to work with engineers and s🐼ee how he performs in a Red Bull Racing car.”

Dꦏespite outperforming the now axed Daniel Ricciardo, Tsunoda has seemingly never been considered as a serious contender to be Max Verstappen’s teammate.

Ricciardo’s replacement, Liam Lawson, is seen as a more likely candidate to take Sergi🌊o Perez’s seat if the Mexican contin🐷ues to underperform.

Horner once agꦇain pointed out that Perez has a valid contract with Red Bull for 2025.

“Checo has a contract for next year, so he's ൲currently our driver for 2025,” he said.

"Obviously there isꦛ a seat available at VCARB, but they're all Red Bull Racing driꦍvers that are on loan.

"We ๊have the benefit of time to sit down with Laurent [Mekies, RB team principal] and Peter [Bayer, RB CEO] and look at𒊎 all the options."
