Focused Development Ahead of Miami
Red Bull plans for an intensive week of work for Tsunoda, starting with simulator sessions on Tuesday, followed by a full day of testing in the RB19 at Silverstone the next day.

Testing Previous Models
The RB19 was selected because of its past success, providing Tsunoda with a valuable reference point for what optimal car performance entails. This test will allow the team and Tsunoda to experiment with various setups and technical solutions.
