Autosport Top 50 of 2024: #46 Yuki Tsunoda
12th in Formula 1 World Championship
Top 50 Drivers of 2024
Autosport's team of expert journalists got together to try to assess who were the top 50 drivers of 2024. Here are the results.
Despite continuing to be overlooked by Red Bull’s lead Formula 1 team, Yuki Tsunoda showed great maturity over 2024, with three seventh places the highlights of his year in Australia, Miami and Brazil.
He also managed his best F1 qualifying result to date with third on the grid in slippery conditions at Interlagos, and over the season outscored both Daniel Ricciardo and Liam Lawson to assert his superiority at RB.
It wasn’t entirely mistake-free, and Tsunoda’s Mexico qualifying shunt undid a weekend with promise, but the Japanese driver is nonetheless continuing to improve.
