Yuki Tsunoda F1 career (2021 - Present)

After scoring points on his F1 debut at the 2021 Bahrain Grand Prix, much was expected from Tsunoda in the remaining 21 races.

Frequent crashes and a general lack of pace meant Tsunoda scored points just seven times in 22 races.

While his points scoring was poor, Tsunoda seemed to find a breakthrough in the closing rounds, regularly making it into Q3.

Tsunoda made respectable progress in 2022 but was unable to show it as AlphaTauri slumped to their worst finish since 2012.

The Japanese racer comfortably held the upper hand over Nyck de Vries prior to his dismissal, and then held his own against his replacement, Daniel Ricciardo. 

2023 was another solid year of improvement for Tsunoda, who despite failing to better his points tally from 2021 - largely due to less competitive machinery - is now a far more rounded driver.
