Racing Bulls team principal Alan Permane has opened up about what impressed him most during Yuki Tsunoda’s time with the team, highlighting the Japanese driver’s speed, feedback, and professionalism both on and off the track.
The F1 veteran was not only surprised by the 25-year-old’s skills but also said they were “really in line with the top drivers.”“His speed [stands out], for one thing,” said the Briton when asked during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix weekend about Tsunoda’s time at Racing Bulls.
A Driver Among the BestBeyond his on-track performance, Tsunoda’s professionalism and technical insight further impressed Permane, placing him in the same league as Formula 1’s top talents.
And honestly, his feedback, and the way he is in the car, the way he drives, the way he is out of the car, are really in line with the top drivers,” Permane said.
