Yuki Tsunoda said it was nice to be on Honda's radar but the AlphaTauri driver remains focused on this F1 season.
The Japanese manufacturer announced their return to Formula 1 this week, confirming they will partner with Aston Martin from the 2026 season onwards.
The 23-year-old has put in some impressive performances in 2023, squashing any rumours it could be his last, and is not only a candidate for the Aston Martin seat but also potentially the Red Bull one as well. “I’m very excited [about Honda’s return],” the AlphaTauri driver said. “It’s good to see them back in the Formula 1 environment. Obviously, it [was] actually a shame when they left after such a massive year with Red Bull [in 2021].
Tsunoda was also not certain of his own long-term F1 future, suggesting he still has things to prove between now and 2026.
