RB driver Yuki Tsunoda, despite outperforming Daniel Ricciardo in the 2024 season, remains on the cusp of advancement with Red Bull. In light of this, 1996 F1 World Champion Damon Hill has offered some career advice to the Japanese driver on the F1 Nation podcast. Hill suggested that Tsunoda should consider reaching out to Aston Martin, especially as Honda, who has supported him throughout his F1 career, is set to partner with the team in 2026.
Damon Hill commented on Red Bull’s decision making behind Sergio Perez’s extension with the team. He explained:
“If I was him I’d be on the phone to Aston Martin because he’s Japanese and they’ve got Honda coming.”
The former champion went on to stress Tsunoda’s impressive performance, which seemingly hasn’t been enough for a promotion within Red Bull.
