Verstappen: "I smell a bit of smoke..." | 00:32The RB team confirmed on Saturday that it has activated an option to extend Yuki Tsunoda ’s contract to the end of 2025.

Tsunoda, 24, has scored 19 points in the opening eight races, outperforming experienced teammate Daniel Ricciardo, whose future with the team is now in question. As RB, the Red Bull junior team, made their announcement shortly before qualifying started at the Canadian Grand Prix, Williams team boss James Vowles confirmed his strong interest in recruiting Carlos Sainz when he leaves Ferrari this year.

Vowles said that “Carlos is our number one target” when discussing who might join the team alongside Alex Albon next year.
