Yuki Tsunoda determined to return to Formula 1, dismisses IndyCar move

Japanese driver Yuki Tsunoda, after five seasons in Formula 1, remains focused on regaining a full‑time race seat. Currently employed as a reserve driver, he stays on the grid but acknowledges that a permanent spot at Red Bull Racing is unlikely given the promotion of drivers such as Arvid Lindblad and Liam Lawson. Speculation about a move to Haas or Alpine has not produced concrete offers, and Tsunoda says he is not considering a switch to the American IndyCar series.

Tsunoda’s parent‑company Honda has expressed interest in seeing him back in a car powered by its engine, but the driver stresses that his priority is finding another Formula 1 opportunity, even if it may only be a temporary stand‑in for an absent full‑time driver.
