Three drivers will compete for a seat at AlphaTauri in 2024: Yuki Tsunoda, Daniel Ricciardo and Liam Lawson. In Suzuka, Yuki was asked to answer the question of who he wants to be his partner for next season.
Yuki Tsunoda: “I recently spoke with the team and I can say that my contract has not been confirmed yet. Honestly, I don’t know which one to choose because both are good options.
Daniel has more experience, so he gives engineers more detailed feedback on the car’s behavior and more details. This helps the engineers a lot and they like that it helps develop the car, making the team more competitive. From this point of view, Daniel is probably better.
At the same time, Liam immediately showed high speed in his first three races and continues to make progress. On the other hand, I only had two races with Daniel, which was not the best for AlphaTauri, while in the two previous races in Monza and Singapore the car drove very well, which helped Liam.
AlphaTauri is positioned as a youth team, but the selection decision will depend on what they want. If there are results, it will be easier to achieve them with Daniel. At the same time, Liam… I don’t know, I’m afraid to say something unnecessary! Liam is also a good choice, but I’ll leave it at that. Maybe Liam and Daniel will get contracts!” (laughs)
