Did Yuki Tsunoda do enough in his Racing Bulls stint to deserve a return to F1?

Yuki is one of the Honda Incubator kids so I'm surprised he's not making more moves towards Japan or the American circuits

Don't think Yuki has ever been given a fair go his maturity as a driver has grown so well but his opportunities never seemed to be forfilled I would like very much to see him back on the grid but I honestly think that Red Bull have sent another driver to the bin

To be fair, he did get 22 races in a Red Bull last year

No - Yuki Tsunoda was too far off Arvid Lindblad's pace to suggest he should return to the F1 grid in 2027, especially with the spate of young drivers waiting for their chances

I wonder if he had kept training for F1 on his time off instead of eyeing the Indy 500 if he would have placed better. The fact is the man is an A+ operator, with B preparation

It does feel like his time has passed

It's a B for Yuki. I think if he'd had a better weekend in Madrid off the back of his Monza points, a team like Cadillac might have been tempted. But that qualifying deficit to Lindblad will hurt him

Would give the same grade, nothing more, nothing less. It was always going to be difficult coming into a midfield team, but there just wasn't anything spectacular enough for him to be deserve a comeback off the back of it.
