Yuki Tsunoda's F1 duties will be notably different next year as he takes on reserve driver duties at the Red Bull team.
Tsunoda struggled for form across the campaign alongside Max Verstappen, leading to increased speculation that he would not return to the cockpit for 2026.
Red Bull opted to replace Tsunoda with Isack Hadjar who enjoyed a positive rookie campaign at the sister Racing Bulls team.
As Tsunoda aims for a full-time comeback to the grid going forward, his bid has been backed by Williams' Alex Albon who experienced the pain of being demoted from a Red Bull seat before re-igniting his career.
Tsunoda will be hoping to follow a similar path - but do you think he can get himself back on the grid?
Might a chance come during the 2026 season, or is he better placing his hopes on the 2027 campaign?
