Christian Horner has good news for Yuki Tsunoda. The Japanese driver - currently active at Visa Cash App RB - can test in a Red Bull Racing car. After the last race in Abu Dhabi, Tsunoda will take a seat in a Red Bull.
"Yuki is a member of the junior team. It's something that we have discussed with Honda. We gave Yuki a run up the hill at Goodwood earlier in the year. He was the first driver to drive a current Formula 1 car in an open-face helmet and goggles. So he will test the car again at the tyre test following the conclusion of the season," Horner revealed in Mexico.
"It's something that's been agreed for quite some time, and it will, again, be good to give him a run and get the opportunity to work with Red Bull Racing engineers and see how he performs in a Red Bull Racing car," the Red Bull team boss added.
Tsunoda is having a good season with VCARB. Currently, the Japanese driver is 12th in the standings with 22 points. At the last race in Austin, he got a new teammate in Liam Lawson who replaced Daniel Ricciardo.
