Yuki Tsunoda becomes Red Bull's reserve driver in 2025, despite not securing a full-time seat.

Yuki Tsunoda, a 24-year-old Japanese driver, will serve as Red Bull's reserve driver in 2025, while continuing with sister team Racing Bulls. This move comes despite Tsunoda missing out on a full-time seat at Red Bull, which was given to Liam Lawson. Tsunoda could fill in for Max Verstappen if the latter faces a race ban. Red Bull also named Ayumu Iwasa as Racing Bulls' reserve driver. The decisions reflect Red Bull's strategy to manage talent and prepare for any unexpected driver absences.
