So Yuki Tsunoda at the drivers press conference in Suzuka ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix, his home race, in which he will be driving a Red Bull for the first time: “I can&#8217t wait to get on track and it couldn&#8217t be a crazier situation than this: my first at Red Bull and my first at home with Red Bull.”

“Incredible in every way. I’m excited and the work done in the simulator was good. I spent some busy days in Tokyo but also had time to be with friends”.

“The first podium at home would be fabulous. Somewhere in my brain it is a dream and remains so. It won&#8217t be easy, I&#8217ve had little time to adjust. It‘s a ‘beast’ a different car from the one I have driven so far. If I go to Q3 I will be happy”.

“I still haven&#8220t felt the difficulties the Red Bull drivers were talking about having only worked in the simulator but I don&#8217t think I need to change the driving style. Otherwise I would not be here with this team. Then we will see the pace and the rest, but maybe it will go in the right direction right away. I can&#8217t wait”.
