Yuki Tsunoda has announced his first book through a post shared on his social media channels.

The Japanese driver, who will not be part of the 22-car grid for the first time since 2021, revealed that his debut book, “Yuki”, is set to be released on February 20.

In the post shared to announce the book, Tsunoda also added a brief note on what readers can expect: “It’s a lot of things, including conversations that you don’t usually hear, and aspects that you haven’t shown before. Please look forward to it!”

Tsunoda had been handed the opportunity of a lifetime when he was promoted to Red Bull just two races into the 2025 season.

However, he ultimately became another of the many drivers burned by the ruthless comparison with Max Verstappen, prompting the Milton Keynes team to make yet another change and hand Isack Hadjar a chance for the upcoming season.
