RB's Alan Permane details Yuki Tsunoda's progress at the team amid Red Bull's refusal to promote him
Racing Bulls racing director Alan Permane says getting Yuki Tsunoda to Red Bull should remain a target of the squad's satellite team after his snub for 2025. Red Bull decided to turn to Tsunoda's less experienced 2024 team-mate Liam Lawson to replace Sergio Perez at its main team for the upcoming season, ensuring Tsunoda stays at the junior team for a fifth consecutive season, much to the Japanese driver's frustration.
' Permane pointed out both Tsunoda and his Anglo-Italian team should still be targeting a promotion to Red Bull in the future. 'Hopefully, if I can bring him on 1% to help him out I’d be super happy,' Permane said. 'Nothing would make me happier than to get him to a level where he can move to the top team, into Red Bull. Quite rightly that should be his target and it should be our target.
