F1 pundit chimes in on the importance of the 2024 season for Visa Cash App RB drivers

F1 pundit Peter Windsor has said that the 2024 season is make or break for both Yuki Tsunoda and Daniel Ricciardo. While appearing on Cameron F1, Windsor said:

“I’m interested in the Daniel Riccardo-Yuki Tsonoda square-off. This is effectively, if Yuki doesn’t blow Daniel away, I’d say his career’s probably gone, and equally if Daniel doesn’t blow Yuki away, his career’s probably gone. So there’s a lot riding on those two.
“I think that car will probably be quite good. Not because Christian Horner is playing a larger role with what’s it called? Visa Cash App whatever. He’s bridging towards that other team a little bit. But because there are some good people at AlphaTauri if we can still call them that, and there’s a lot of technology there that they should be getting.
"So you know, I can’t imagine that car’s going to be slow so that’s one thing I’m looking forward to seeing that squaring off between the two drivers there.”

A potential Red Bull seat could be snapped up for the 2025 season, to replace Sergio Perez, if either of the two Visa Cash App RB drivers performs well in the 2024 season.
