Helmut Marko claims Yuki Tsunoda was ‘on par’ with Max Verstappen at the Japanese GP

Tsunoda ended his Japanese GP exploits in tenth place!

Yuki got away sensationally well at the second start. His overtaking maneuvers were the show of the day. The fans were completely over the moon. His weekend was on a par with Max, [Fernando] Alonso and co. [He was] faultless, a super performance under the pressure of his home race. Helmut Marko said in an interview with racingnews356

The 80-year-old veteran of the sport has left no stone unturned in applauding the 23-year-old Japanese Driver. Tsunoda performed really well throughout the race and at the end of it all, secured a well-deserved P10 finish.

Helmut Marko also pleased with Yuki Tsunoda’s calm team radio interaction

Yuki Tsunoda since joining F1, has had a reputation of being a bit of a hot-head. Over the years, his radio outbursts have attracted immense criticism toward him, but to the surprise of many, he has been very calm on the radio barring his Bahrain shenanigans.

Helmut Marko is impressed with how Tsunoda is learning to keep himself calm during high-intensity Grand Prix events.

There have been four races and Yuki has brought the car into Q3 three times. He is consistent and his lack of control on the radio is also gone. Helmut Marko said in an interview with Sky Germany

The ongoing campaign is four rounds down and Yuki Tsunoda has so far managed to score a commendable seven points. Next up on the F1 calendar is the Chinese Grand Prix and Tsunoda would once again eye a top 10 finish at the event.
