Does Laurent Mekies arrival increase chances of Yuki Tsunoda staying at Red Bull?

Christian Horner's exit from Red Bull represents a major shift by the Austrian outfit, but will Yuki Tsunoda remain part of it for long?

The future of Yuki Tsunoda has been a topic for debate in recent weeks, due to the Japanese driver's woeful form at Red Bull. 

In his 10 grands prix for the Milton Keynes-based outfit, Tsunoda has scored just seven points. In addition, his current run of five consecutive events without a point is the joint-worst of any Red Bull driver since Mark Webber in 2009. 

As a result, many have questioned whether a second driver change could take place, following on from Tsunoda replacing Liam Lawson after just two races. 

Whilst Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko has insisted another change is off the cards, former team principal Christian Horner remained tight-lipped before his exit. 

With Laurent Mekies having been promoted to replace Horner as team boss and CEO, could his relationship with the Japanese driver increase the chances of Tsunoda sticking with the team?
