An overwhelming majority of F1 fans do not believe Yuki Tsunoda will be retained by Red Bull at the end of the season.

Following a slow start to the season for Liam Lawson at the senior squad, the New Zealander was replaced by Tsunoda ahead of the third round of the campaign.

However, Tsunoda has also been unable to unlock potential from the car, scoring just nine points in 14 rounds.

Isack Hadjar's strong rookie season at Racing Bulls has led to suggestions that Tsunoda could be out of his seat at the end of the year.

It prompted RacingNews365 to ask you, the fans, if you thought Tsunoda would still be at the Milton Keynes-based squad in 2026.

Over 80 per cent of respondents do not believe Tsunoda will be a Red Bull driver next year, with 60 per cent asserting he will be dropped from the grid altogether.

Just over 20 per cent of fans believe he will still be on the grid next year, albeit with Racing Bulls, while even fewer are of the opinion that he will be handed another chance at Red Bull.
