Yuki Tsunoda failed to meet Racing Bulls' Italian GP target after Alan Permane called for 'more'

Yuki Tsunoda did not meet the expectations set by Racing Bulls' team principal Alan Permane during the qualifying session for the Italian Grand Prix, finishing in 17th place. Permane expressed the need for more performance from Tsunoda, especially after a challenging FP3 session, while his teammate Arvid Lindblad performed well enough to reach the top-10 shootout.

Despite Tsunoda's struggles, which included a fuel leak that delayed his qualifying efforts, he will benefit from new power unit components that will elevate him two positions on the starting grid. However, his lack of pace raises concerns about his future in Formula 1, particularly as he aims to secure a spot for the 2027 season.
