Yuki Tsunoda praised by Red Bull’s Chief Engineer Paul MonaghanWhile Yuki Tsunoda has had a good run with Red Bull’s main team, Chief Engineer Paul Monaghan says he’s fitting in nicely. Tsunoda has done well in qualifying and scored points in two of the last three races, showing good promise so far.

Speaking ahead of the Miami Grand Prix weekend, where Tsunoda also scored points in the Sprint, Monaghan said:

“He seems to be settling in really well, actually. It’s not the easiest circumstances to step into. He came in, he’s been forthright in his feedback, he’s been courteous, he’s been a good team member. He’s been a little bit unlucky at times, lucky at others… He’s finding his feet.”

Further, he said:

“He’s not afraid to speak his mind, he states what he wants and what he doesn’t like, which is good. He’s in the team, he’s a good member of it, and he’ll be fine. He seems able to avoid the intimidation of being Max’s team mate at the moment, so that’s really good. I’m impressed. He’s got more than a spine to him.”
