TSUNODA LEAVES RICCIARDO IN HIS WAKE TO WIN MIAMI GRAND PRIX OPENER
Japanese F1 star Yuki Tsunoda has declared he will ‘sleep easy’ ahead of this weekend’s Miami Grand Prix after winning a head-to-head mini jet boat battle against eight-time F1 winner Daniel Ricciardo on Miami’s Biscayne Bay.
Ahead of tomorrow’s Miami Grand Prix, Red Bull transformed the Biscayne Bay into a racetrack with Formula 1 Drivers from both Scuderia AlphaTauri and Oracle Red Bull Racing Team battling it out aboard mini jet boats to launch the (Un)Serious Race showdown.
Watch the premiere episode, featuring Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda, HERE.
The (Un)Serious Race Series is a 6-part series that follows the drivers from both Teams throughout the Grand Prix season in unexpecting, on-the-edge-of-your-seat surprising locations and formats. In the series’ first episode, Oracle Red Bull Racing’s Ricciardo and Scuderia AlphaTauri’s Tsunoda trade in their racing suits for swimmies ahead of the Miami Grand Prix.
Just over six feet long, capable of speeds up to 30 mph, the boats were built in collaboration between Torch Craft Marine and Jetstream Adventure Boats. After a fast start, Tsunoda is passed by Ricciardo mid-race but pegged back the Australian’s advantage to ultimately cross the finish line first.
