Biography

Tsunoda began his racing career in karting and moved up to single-seater racing in 2016, competing in the F4 Japanese Championship. He quickly climbed up the ranks of motorsport, finishing third in the Japanese Formula 4 championship in 2017 before winning the next season in 2018. He graduated to Formula 3 in 2019 and Formula 2 in 2020, finishing third in the Formula 2 Championship with Carlin with three wins, four poles, and seven podiums.

In 2021, Tsunoda was announced as a race driver for Scuderia AlphaTauri, becoming the first Japanese driver to race in Formula 1 since Kamui Kobayashi in 2014. Tsunoda made his debut at the 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix, scoring points with a ninth place finish. He continued to impress throughout the season with his speed and overtaking ability, scoring points in six races and earning a best finish of sixth place in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Despite hailed as one of the most promising young talents in F1, Tsunoda's second season in Formula 1 was rough. He took points in only four races, posting a worse performance than his rookie season, and multiple mistakes caused him to retire on five occassions, only winning 12 points by the end of the season.
