By the Numbers
Recent Form
Across the Dutch, Italian and Spanish Grands Prix, Tsunoda has been starting from the back of the midfield pack and finishing in roughly the same postcode. Two of those three races ended with him lapped and the one points finish, a P10 in Italy, stands as the sole bright spot in a sequence that otherwise flatlines. The grid-to-finish deltas are modest gains of one or two places, which suggests the car is finding something over a race distance but not enough to matter.
P20 in the championship with a single point tells the story of a season that has offered almost nothing to build on. The pattern across these three races is consistency of the wrong kind: midfield starts, midfield or worse finishes and a pace deficit that keeps leaving him a lap down when the leaders cross the line.
Latest Race
Tsunoda finished P14 from P15 on the grid at the Spanish Grand Prix, gaining one place across the race but ending the afternoon lapped. The result added nothing to his points tally and left him rooted at P20 in the drivers’ championship, where a single point from the entire season makes any upward movement in the standings a significant ask.
2026 So Far
Tsunoda sits P20 in the drivers’ championship with 1 point and the trajectory is flat at best. One points finish from three recorded races, two of those ending lapped, describes a season that has produced almost no return. Career wins and podiums remain at zero, so there’s no prior peak to reference as a benchmark, which makes the current position feel less like a regression and more like a continuation of a difficult spell with RB.
