Honda president Koji Watanabe spoke with Red Bull team boss Christian Horner as recently as Saturday as he continued his push to ensure Yuki Tsunoda at least has a shot at the Red Bull race seat. Red Bull have yet to reveal their full line-up for both Red Bull Racing and Racing Bulls for the 2025 championship with a decision expected sometime this week.

Yuki Tsunoda and Liam Lawson continue to await Red Bull’s call on who will become Max Verstappen’s next teammate. In the aftermath of Tsunoda’s post-season test with Red Bull, Honda have voiced their support for the Japanese driver.

Yuki Tsunoda is confident that his improvement in Formula 1 this season should earn him consideration for a Red Bull seat.
