Mekis: It's important to us that Yuki is fast.

      Speaking about the lineup for next year, Red Bull Racing's head Laurent Mekies admitted that this season Yuki Tsunoda has not been fast enough…

      Laurent Mekies: "We always want more. I can't tell you that Yuki's results are enough to extend his contract. No one thinks so, Yuki doesn't think so.

      Two point-scoring races, two very good starts, two very good opening laps – that's progress compared to what he had shown earlier this year. Is that enough? No, I won't lie to you. And Yuki wouldn't like me to say that it's enough.

      But Tsunoda can play his part in the remaining races. First of all, we're fighting in the Constructors' Championship. Wins are no longer in sight for us, but the battle for position continues. Secondly, the faster Yuki is, the more testing we can split between the cars. It's important for us that Yuki is fast. Perhaps, with improved results we may at some point be able to fight rivals two-on-two."
