2021 Alpha Tauri F1 Team

That's a sneaky way to get some wind tunnel data, right after those donuts.

It looks like Tsunoda is not only one.

Tsunoda shows sense of humour: "Now also available in extra small"

At 1.77 metres, Pierre Gasly is certainly not one of the tallest drivers in Formula 1.
But then you also have Yuki Tsunoda. The Japanese driver who will make his debut as Gasly's teammate next year
is another 18 centimetres shorter. At 1.59 metres, he is by far the smallest driver in the field.

I wonder that if his size and weight will give an advantage or not ?
Pedrosa was good at straightline speed but not at turns

[senja]

Not. He will be 80kg with seat, as any other driver.

Geesh he looks like he's a kid from second grade that steps into a F1 car.
I'm very curious on his performances though!

With both Gasly and Tsunoda not being such big drivers (understatement),
i reckon it would be quite a challenge if Hulkenberg were to need to step in if Albon is covering a Covid @ RedBull,
and he'd need to fill the AT seat. Would he even fit? Or isn't Hulky a reserve for RBR?

Be patient and say this after seeing a few races then it will be based on something even if it is wrong.

please explain this statement, as i don't get what you're referring at.

Gasly is not a 'big' guy, and clearly Tsunoda isn't. What does this have to do with races?
they're not going to grow 30 cm's in lenght after 5 races.

To be clear i wasnt claiming 'theyre not big drivers' as in that hey dont have talent. I think Gasly is talented, just not 'extremely talented'. Tsunoda indeed will have to wait, but his past stepping stone categories have been interesting.

i actually mentioned i'm curious to his (tsunoda) performances.

so i really don't get this comment, hence, please, explain.

Tsunoda being shorter than everyone else on the grid might mean he has faster reflexes and reaction time. Who's the next shortest, Hamilton?

[bigblue]

You can tell it's off-season.

[NathanOlder]

Not. He will be 80kg with seat, as any other driver.

But he will have an advantage in that the extra weight required can be put right at the lowest point, therefore his cars C.G will be lower than his team mates. DOubt it will give him much advantage, but if he out qualified Gasly by 0.001 , then that weight has made that much difference at least

Bottas , Alonso, Norris are shorter than Hamilton. Norris being the shortest of the 3, Bottas the tallest.

They'll be missing out if they don't bring out a Funko Pop of Yuki. It's essentially a 1:1 scale model.

(JOKE MODE OFF)

AT/RB trying to increase their Asian (Japanese) market sales?

[Wouter]

Yuki got his company car. Nice! The first one I mean.

Yuki: Honda NSX
Fast and fun! I look forward to working with you! (GT)

Nice daily drive

and LOL, Yuki seems like a really cool guy with good humor. I wonder how a pair of Tsunoda-Ricciardo would fare
