F1 fans believe Yuki Tsunoda should seek an exit from the Red Bull family of F1 teams to secure a return to the grand prix grid.
It was announced on Tuesday that Tsunoda would not be returning to his race seat alongside Max Verstappen in 2026, with Red Bull deciding that, after poor performances, Tsunoda would be dropped to test and reserve driver.
He is to be replaced by Isack Hadjar, with Arvid Lindblad in turn replacing Hadjar alongside Liam Lawson at Racing Bulls.
As such, after five seasons in F1, Tsunoda is not set to race in 2026 with the remaining 18 seats all filled, although the driver market is set to open again for 2027.
A majority of F1 fans in a poll run by RacingNews365 believe the Japanese racer should take his services to another team and leave the Red Bull family, whilst a switch across the pond to IndyCar also ranked favourably.
