Watch every practice, qualifying and race of the 2023 FIA Formula One World Championship live and ad-break free in racing on Kayo Sports.Tsunoda, who easily dispatched rookie teammate Nyck de Vries in the first half of the year, has also done enough to earn a rare fourth season at Red Bull’s driver development team, having scored all of the team’s points before last weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix.
Ricciardo has impressed Red Bull management in his less than three weekends back in the cockpit and is understood to have the backing of key figures in the senior team, which appears set to result in an extension to his AlphaTauri tenure despite having no fixed date to return to the car.“He definitely can tell more details about how the car is behaving. I think it helps a lot for the engineers, and I think engineers like especially how he talks and how he helps with the development side.
His performances have left few unconvinced that he’s deserving of a full-time Formula 1 drive, and Lawson said he would be disappointed not to be on the grid next season after his series of cameo appearances. Williams is reportedly weighing up its options for the second seat, with Sargeant so far having failed to fire in his rookie campaign.
“On what’s happened so far, [the feedback] has been pretty positive, but I guess for me it’s best to just keep my head down now and try to keep delivering until things clear up.“I want to be in Formula 1 and I’m trying to do good things now. I have this chance. I’m trying to do everything I can to show that I can be here. But in terms of all those discussions, I think all those will happen after this weekend.
