Tsunoda returns with Racing Bulls at Zandvoort after Hadjar injury
Yuki Tsunoda will return to Formula 1 with Racing Bulls at Zandvoort after Isack Hadjar suffered a wrist injury. The comeback comes with added difficulty because Tsunoda has not raced since the end of last year and has not previously driven the 2026-spec car.
Yuki Tsunoda is set for a surprise Formula 1 return with Racing Bulls at the Dutch Grand Prix following a reshuffle between Red Bull and Racing Bulls. The opportunity arose after Isack Hadjar sustained a wrist injury.
The task at Zandvoort is expected to be difficult. F1 TV analysts Jolyon Palmer and Alex Brundle said Tsunoda faces an "insane" challenge because he has never driven the 2026-spec Racing Bulls machinery, and the event is also a sprint weekend.
Tsunoda has not been in a race seat since the end of last year, but he wants to use the weekend to show what he can do. He said his aims include enjoying the opportunity and helping broaden his options for 2027.
