Yuki Tsunoda (Japanese: 角田 裕毅, Hepburn: Tsunoda Yūki, pronounced [tsɯnoda jɯ̟ᵝːkʲi]; born 11 May 2000) is a Japanese racing driver, who competes in Formula One for Racing Bulls.
Born in Sagamihara, Kanagawa, Tsunoda began competitive kart racing aged nine. Supported by Honda since 2016 through the Honda Formula Dream Project , Tsunoda graduated to junior formulae the same year. He won his first full championship at the JAF Japan F4 East Series in 2017, winning the F4 Japanese Championship the next season. He progressed to FIA Formula 3 in 2019 with Jenzer, before finishing third in his rookie season of FIA Formula 2 in 2020 with Carlin.
A member of the Red Bull Junior Team since 2019, Tsunoda signed for AlphaTauri in 2021, using a Honda powertrain alongside Pierre Gasly; he finished a career-best fourth at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix that year. Tsunoda retained his seat at AlphaTauri in 2022 and 2023, partnering Nyck de Vries and Daniel Ricciardo in the latter. He remained at the team for the 2024 season as they re-branded to RB. Tsunoda is set to remain at RB until at least the end of the 2025 season.[1]
