Tsunoda’s Formulation One service “hangs within the thread” following the troublesome Austrian Grand Prix.
Tsunoda completed his closing finisher with sixteenth place within the race on the Pink Bull Ring on Sunday.
The Japanese driver was the one driver to be lap twice on a ferocious day for Pink Bull.
Tsunoda additionally felt the brunt of the Formulation 1 steward and scored a 10-second penalty to collide with Alpine’s Franco Colapinto.
Like his predecessor, Liam Lawson, Tsunoda struggles to understand the RB21.
The very best tsunami outcomes since becoming a member of Pink Bull are No. 9 in Bahrain, following the Austrian Grand Prix, he sits behind Lawson within the driver’s rating.
The weekend was one thing I ought to have forgotten about for Pink Bull.
Max Verstappen suffered from his first DNF of the yr after being taken from the race by Kimi Antonelli on the opening lap.
Consequently, Pink Bull boss Christian Horner declared that they not have any ideas on this yr’s World Championships.
Verstappen hoped to change into the second driver in Formulation 1 historical past and win 5 straight driver titles.
The way forward for Formulation 1 is uncertain
Based on respected BBC F1 journalist Andrew Benson, Zonodha’s profession is in danger.
Although it is unlikely that Hounda’s fast future in Pink Bull is underneath risk, his possibilities to remain for subsequent yr look very slim.
Tsunoda selected Lawson as a substitute, which was initially ignored by Pink Bull.
After a race in Austria on the BBC’s Checkered Flag Podcast, Benson expressed doubt about whether or not the hornedas would stay on the grid, even outdoors the stables of Pink Bull.
“I feel we should always say one thing in regards to the horneda, he had a horrible, horrible day,” Benson mentioned.
“Verstappen, first lap, third nook, Pink Bull wanted Tsunoda to do a robust race. OK, he had a foul qualification.
“However he drove like he was in F1 for 5 minutes, not 5 years.
“He had two conflicts, however the second collision with Franco Colapinto, who was penalised for 10 seconds, was very clumsy and ended in the long run.
“That is the man who at the moment has a Formulation 1 profession hanging in threads and I do not see him taking up the tip of this yr.”
