AlphaTauri F1 rookie Yuki Tsunoda was one of the standout drivers in his maiden Grand Prix in Bahrain last month, with the Japanese driver putting in a strong performance and finishing in the points.

But moving into the top tier of open wheel motorsports comes with its challenges, and Tsunoda’s performance coach, Noel Carroll, has talked to Honda about how the Japanese rookie got in shape for F1.
