    Tsunoda reckons the arrival of experienced new team-mate Daniel Ricciardo put him under greater pressure to trigger “a couple of mistakes”.

    I mean that’s almost a given, no?

    I think Tsunoda handled the new pressure pretty well, and you can’t ignore he consistently achieves good results in a pretty shit car.

    However, while most will disagree, I find Ricciardo’s return slightly underwhelming. Don’t get me wrong: he is still impressive and on the level of Tsunoda after being out almost over half a year. But after all that media attention and Helmut Marcos’s infamous call with de Vries after Daniels’s lap time in testing, I was hyped and expecting an incredible performance.

    He is as good as a veteran should be, but it shows how much potential Tsunoda actually still has.
