Yuki Tsunoda returns with Racing Bulls at Zandvoort after Hadjar injury
Yuki Tsunoda will return to Formula 1 with Racing Bulls at the Dutch Grand Prix after Isack Hadjar's wrist injury prompted a driver reshuffle. Tsunoda said the opportunity comes with difficult circumstances, but he aims to make the most of it.
Tsunoda is set for a surprise Formula 1 return with Racing Bulls at Zandvoort after Hadjar's wrist injury led Red Bull and Racing Bulls to reorganize their line-up ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix. The Japanese driver has not raced since the end of last year.
The task is considered a tough one. Reports noted that Tsunoda has not previously driven the 2026-spec Racing Bulls car, and his comeback also comes on a sprint weekend at Zandvoort, limiting preparation time.
Tsunoda has described the return as unexpected and said he wants to use the chance to prove himself. One of his stated aims for the weekend is to enjoy the opportunity while also helping his prospects for 2027.
