One of the most amazing moments of this year's Australian Grand prix qualifying was Yuki Tsunoda’s Qualifying lap. The Japanese man got rejected by Red Bull last year, and his teammate Liam Lawson was chosen for the senior team. But this year, he made a statement during his qualifying lap in Melbourne.

The VCARB driver outpaced the two Ferraris and qualified as the fifth fastest next to Norris, Piastri, Vertsappen and George Russell. Red Bull would be scratching their heads on missing out on the services of Tsunoda. Tsunoda was faster from the start of the race weekend. Not only him, but his teammate Isack Hadjar was the best among all the debutants, and the VCARB is now looking very strong in the midfield. Isack Jadjar gave his best and finished in P11, which is the best rookie result of the day.

A new video shows the team bond between Yuki Tsunoda and Isack Hadjar. Isac is watching Yuki’s final qualifying lap with his father. Once the qualifying results are displayed on the screen, Hadjar and his father start roaring and clapping for Yuki’s efforts. 

In F1, a teammate is your biggest rival, but Isack Hadjar changed the statement as he is Yuki’s biggest supporter. It is very nice to see the friendship between the two drivers as it will create a healthy atmosphere inside the team, which helps them with results.

Yuki Tsunoda put on his best effort to beat the two Ferrari drivers, Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, Williams driver Alex Albon, and Alpine drivers Pierre Gasly and Carlos Sainz. Tomorrow will be the race day, and 100% rain is predicted.

Yuki is already one of the best drivers in wet conditions, as in last year’s Brazil GP he qualified P3. VCARB should be perfect in their strategy for Yuki Tsunoda and Isack Hadjar to bring the best possible results for the drivers and for the team. 

Red Bull has a lot of questions to answer as Liam Lawson, who they preferred over Yuki, didn't even qualify for the round 2 Qualifying session. After missing out on free practice 3, he came straight to qualifying and managed only P18, while his teammate Max Verstappen, with his outstanding driving, came in P3 next to the two McLarens.
