Visa RB’s cars are powered by Honda engines and the Japanese Grand Prix is one of the home stages for the Faenza-based team. According to Yuki Tsunoda, the new products that the team brought to Suzuka are mainly intended for other circuits, so it is not yet a fact that they will work.
Yuki Tsunoda: “It’s nice to return to Japan, and even during the cherry blossom season it’s very beautiful here now. And they receive us very well, I have already seen a whole crowd of fans greeting us when our car stopped at a traffic light. I hope I can have a good race to satisfy the local crowd.
I already got a small statue of a racer, and judging by the helmet and overalls, it’s me! (laughs) A very beautiful statue, I think you can take it with you as an amulet.
On three circuits in a row we managed to perform quite consistently, regularly fighting for places in the top ten, so now we also have a confident attitude. In addition, for this weekend we have prepared some technical innovations – I hope they will work effectively.
However, these updates are more likely intended for other circuits, so I don’t know how much they will help us in Suzuka. However, we are quite optimistic and our main goal is to earn points.”
