AlphaTauri took penultimate place in the Constructors’ Championship at the end of 2022, earning four times less points during the season than in 2021, and of course the team management and Red Bull are not satisfied with such results.
It’s hard to say how 2023 will go for her, but in any case, work on the new car has entered its final stages and Yuki Tsunoda came to Faenza at the team’s base to undergo a seat adjustment procedure, which the team announced. on Monday.
Everyone is curious what results he will show against the background of the new partner, Nick de Vries, who is experiencing his first full season in Formula 1 at the age of 28. The Dutchman once won the title in Formula 2 and in 2021 proved his skills by becoming Formula E champion. However, it wasn’t this that helped him get into AphaTauri, but a successful debut at last year’s Italian Grand Prix when he replaced the unexpectedly ill Alex Albon at the wheel of Williams and earned points in his debut race.
By the way, around the same time Tsunoda’s photo appeared on social networks, Red Bull shared a short video of how De Vries was actively preparing for the season, doing strength training on special simulators.
There are high expectations for Nick at AlphaTauri, but Yuki will also feel more pressure as he hasn’t given the team much in the past two seasons. But now, of her two riders, he is the more technically experienced, and while Yuki is capable of good speed at times, he clearly lacks stability.
Team principal Franz Tost has repeatedly said that a driver’s potential in Formula 1 will be revealed in three years’ time, meaning that Tsunode will have to work very hard next season to update his reputation.
