Yuki Tsunoda admits he missed the media sessions as a regular F1 driver, as he feels grateful for the opportunity presented as he decides his future. Often when they are part of the circus, F1 drivers frown on the media commitments, having to answer similar questions from TV to written media. But once they go away, there is some form of nostalgia, even to the extent of missing feeling after going through the drill for several years. After Tsunoda departed from active race seat at the end of 2025 F1 season, the Japanese racer has hung around the paddock in reserve capacity with both Red Bull and Racing Bulls. He got a surprise call-up when Isack Hadjar injured his wrist in the summer break. Red Bull drafted Liam Lawson in their car, as Tsunoda got in the Racing Bulls. He was greeted by host of media on his first day back on Thursday. He was not shy in admitting the missing feeling – although he cautioned that the missing feel depended on the type questions asked. Tsunoda admits missing media sessions "I mean, I've been in this environment for a long time, 4-5 years, and that's enough [to know]," said Tsunoda to media in F1 Dutch GP. "To be honest, somehow, lately, I feel like this kind of conversation, answering questions, something also partly I miss as well. It depends on the questions." He also shared how bored he felt in the simulator session with nothing to show for in the F1 2026 season so far.
