Sam Hall Friday 19 February 2021 10:44

Yuki Tsunoda is one of three rookies to make his Formula 1 debut in 2021 alongside Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin.

A young driver backed throughout his junior career by both Red Bull and Honda, Tsunoda will race with AlphaTauri for the coming season in the AT02 that was launched on Friday morning.

The 20-year-old finished third in F2 last year, winning the Anthoine Hubert award for the highest-placed rookie in the overall standings.

High points included feature race wins in Belgium and Sakhir although Tsunoda's first win came in a sprint race on the occasion of F1's 70th Anniversary Grand Prix weekend.

Ahead of his debut campaign, we take a look at Tsunoda's rise to F1.
