Dr Helmut Marko has confirmed that Yuki Tsunoda is on course to make his Formula 1 debut in 2021. When asked about whether any Red Bull junior drivers are ready to enter F1, Marko told Sky Deutschland: “There is only one candidate and that’s Yuki Tsunoda. All he has to do is obtain the necessary amount of points for a super license,” Marko added. As for the senior Red Bull team, Marko continues to insist that Alex Albon will remain Max Verstappen’s teammate “if he can continue to develop and progress”. “But if you don’t know when and where this happens, then this is a factor of uncertainty that we cannot afford when we are fighting for the title,” said Marko.
