Yuki Tsunoda could be ready to be Max Verstappen’s teammate by 2025. That is the view of Franz Tost, boss of the second Red Bull-owned team Alpha Tauri. “Yuki drove two extremely strong races so far,” Tost told Sport1. As for Tsunoda’s rookie teammate Nyck de Vries, Tost is not yet passing judgement. Tsunoda, however, is fast approaching readiness to replace the highly experienced Sergio Perez and become world champion Verstappen’s teammate at the top Red Bull team. “As far as I know, Sergio Perez still has a contract for next year,” Tost said. “In 2025, I think he will finally be ready for Red Bull.”.
