Confirmed: Yuki Tsunoda races with Scuderia AlphaTauri F1 Team for 2021

It's been confirmed yesterday (2/12/20), Formula 2 driver Yuki Tsunoda will race with the AlphaTauri in Formula 1 next season, bringing to an end Daniil Kvyat’s third spell at the team.

Yuki Tsunoda will be the first driver born in the 2000s to race in Formula 1 and the first Japanese representative to drive in F1 since Kamui Kobayashi did in 2014, when he raced for Caterham.

Tsunoda finsihed third in FIA Formula 2 Standings this season, is stepping up to a race seat alongside Pierre Gasly for next season.

In my opinion, this was no big surprise this news happen, rumoured since October that Tsunoda was going to get one of the seats.

Hopefully AlphaTauri team will have a stronger 2021 F1 season with its line-up complete going into 2021.
