That’s why videos like this, onboard footage from one of Yuki Tsunoda’s pre-season drives, are so much fun. Sure, the sound isn’t perfect, but with a camera inside Tsunoda’s helmet we can see exactly what he sees. And it’s fast.
Tsunoda is F1’s newest recruit, one of three rookies taking to the grid in 2021 and, born in the year 2000, the first F1 driver to be born this side of the Millennium.
