Finding the right balance is the key to Yuki Tsunoda getting a firmer hold on his emotions while racing in Formula 1, according to Carlos Sainz.
Like the Japanese, the Ferrari racer began his career in the sport as a Red Bull junior, given his first shot with the sister team – then known as Toro Rosso. Now in his second year with AlphaTauri, Tsunoda is the latest youngster to graduate into F1 through the programme.
He has proven himself to be capable of strong results, but lapses in concentration and some silly mistakes have stunted his progress. After the latest, in which he took out team-mate Pierre Gasly at Silverstone, Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko revealed that a psychologist has been hired to work with the "problem child".
