Yuki Tsunoda says he “can’t still believe” he’s on the grid with Lewis Hamilton and adds seeing him on the track “just feels exciting” and “definitely not real”.
Ahead of the British Grand Prix, Yuki Tsunoda was asked to give his thoughts on Lewis Hamilton.
“So, the first time I saw him, I was seven years old when I went to the Japanese Grand Prix at Fuji,” Tsunoda said.
“My friend, a karting friend, was driving with his helmet, like with his replica. So, I can’t still believe I’m driving with him.
“But he’s obviously been fighting for Championships every year. Unfortunately, we’re not driving together, in the same field right now.

“We’re in different positions, I don’t feel like we’re driving similar… We’re driving in the same race, but I don’t feel…
“But it’s definitely cool and I still can’t believe that 12, 13 years after I’m driving with him. Every time I see him in the track, it just feels exciting. Feels definitely not real.
“At the same time I’m really honoured and happy that I’m able to run with him,” the Japanese driver concluded.
