RaceFans Round-up: 26th January 2025

Comment of the day

Yuki Tsunoda is 12th in our 2024 Formula 1 driver ranking but some think he deserved to be several places higher:

I would personally put him eighth. He beat Ricciardo 12-6 in qualifying, 23-12 on points. He beat Lawson 6-0 in qualifying and 8-4pts. Apparently both of them are very highly rated by Red Bull. It seems Ricciardo was very close to replace Perez after summer break as well but Horner decided to keep him.

In Montreal he had brake issues. RB split the strategy as usual but this time it made sense as it was damp and they gambled with both drivers having different strategy. He was doing an impressive job on used inters but he missed his braking three times that race due to brake issue. That is how Stroll got pass him and then missed it again and Ocon and then he missed his braking once again when he was ninth only few laps before the end. He definitely missed points there but overall he was pretty good. Miami SQ2 with only one push lap was also a missed opportunity.
