Red Bull driver Yuki Tsunoda bounced back after a rough Austrian Grand Prix to make it through Q2 at Silverstone.
Tsunoda is starting the British Grand Prix in P12, only missing out on Q3 by less than a tenth. It was a strong showing from the Japanese driver, who isn't consistently performing at every race.
In fact, the Red Bull driver had more pace left in the car and was hindered by an issue with the power unit.
"It was very clean. I lost the power, to be honest. Until I started the lap, launching into the last corner, the power I normally get - I didn't have it," Tsunoda told the media after qualifying.

"I lost about a tenth in Turn 3, just from that lap time until the main straight. And a couple of acceleration boosts were not working in the last boost.
"So, without considering that, the lap was pretty good. And how tight it was... I think most likely I was going through to Q3. So, really annoying."
For most of the season, Tsunoda has either done a solid job of getting the car into Q3 and netting some points during the race or finished at the bottom of the grid and run a dismal race at the back.
In Austria, Tsunoda was eliminated in Q1 and started the race in 18th place. During the race, things did not get better for the Japanese driver.
He received a penalty during the race for a collision and ended up finishing P16 - the last driver to take the checkered flag.
Red Bull's drivers, other than Max Verstappen, have encountered issues with the car over the past couple of seasons. The drivability of the RB21 is seemingly unbearable for everyone except Verstappen.
Tsunoda looked much more comfortable in the car at Silverstone, and he noted the improvement as a result.
"Yeah, I think this was the cleanest race weekend we've had so far, up to now. The confidence and everything... I felt good in qualifying," he added.
"So just - yeah - every time, there's something that gets in the way in the last push.
"The team gave massive support to help me gain that confidence back again. And it was working."
After not scoring points in his last four races, Tsunoda is hoping to end the drought and show the team that he can be the one to tame the car.

Stephen Curry's Latest Announcement Leaves Fans Stunned

Stephen Curry's Latest Announcement Leaves Fans Stunned originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Stephen Curry has established himself not only as the greatest shooter of all time and one of the best point guards in NBA history, but also as a pioneer. Advertisement In a time when most NBA superstars signed endorsement deals with Nike, Jordan, or Adidas, Curry zagged when everybody was zigging. He signed a very lucrative deal to spearhead Under Armour's basketball team, and it's paid off big dividends so far. Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (30) prepares to play the Minnesota Timberwolves before game one of the second round for the 2025 NBA Playoffs at Target Center. Bruce Kluckhohn-Imagn Images With that in mind, Curry Brand and Under Armour will go on a World Tour this offseason, according to a report by Tomer Azarly: "Under Armour and Curry Brand announced the 2025 Curry Brand World Tour today," Azarly wrote. "Stephen Curry and De'Aaron Fox will be going on tour in August to San Francisco, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Xi'An, as well as Chongqing, and they'll host camps for high school boys and girls. They'll also host a 3-day brand culture convention, Curry Con, in Chongqing." Advertisement Fox was the first player to sign an endorsement deal under the Curry brand. They also have Davion Mitchell, Seth Curry, and Quincy Olivari on the team, and they signed collegiate stars MiLaysia Fulwiley and Japanese sharpshooter Keisei Tominaga. Curry enjoyed some much-needed time off after another strong season. The Golden State Warriors are still trying to sort out the Jonathan Kuminga situation and bring more firepower to the Bay Area because their championship window will stay open for as long as he's healthy. In the meantime, the sharpshooting star will continue to take his brand to the next level. Advertisement This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 8, 2025, where it first appeared.

WWE Bringing In Two Wrestling Legends For Evolution: Report

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Two legendary former WWE Women's Champions are scheduled to be in Atlanta for this Sunday's Evolution premium live event. According to a new report from WWE Hall of Famer Alundra Blayze and the formidable Jazz are both expected to be present for the show. While their exact roles have not been confirmed, their presence opens the door for surprise appearances. It is highly speculated that they could be entrants in the high-stakes battle royal, where the winner will earn a future world championship match. A Trailblazer And Her Infamous Moment Alundra Blayze was the centerpiece of WWE's women's division in the mid-1990s "New Generation" era. A three-time WWE Women's Champion, she was known for her athletic, hard-hitting style that was ahead of its time. However, she is most famous for one of the most controversial moments of the Monday Night Wars. After leaving WWE for WCW in 1995, she appeared live on an episode of WCW Monday Nitro and infamously dropped the WWE Women's Championship belt into a trash can. This act made her a controversial figure for nearly two decades before she and WWE reconciled. She was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2015, where she brought the story full circle by "pulling" the title back out of the trash. LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - OCTOBER 11: A WWE logo is shown on a screen before a WWE news conference at T-Mobile Arena on October 11, 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was announced that WWE... LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - OCTOBER 11: A WWE logo is shown on a screen before a WWE news conference at T-Mobile Arena on October 11, 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was announced that WWE wrestler Braun Strowman will face heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury and WWE champion Brock Lesnar will take on former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez at the WWE's Crown Jewel event at Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on October 31. More More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation One Of The Toughest Ever Jazz was one of the most dominant and physically imposing champions of the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression eras. Her legitimate toughness and smash-mouth style set her apart from many of her contemporaries. She was a two-time WWE Women's Champion, with her first reign lasting an impressive 98 days. She engaged in memorable feuds with the top stars of that era, including Trish Stratus and Lita. After leaving WWE, she continued a successful career, most notably having a dominant 948-day reign as the NWA World Women's Champion. The presence of these two legends at Evolution adds another layer of history to the event. They represent two distinct, important eras in the evolution of women's wrestling, and their potential involvement has fans buzzing ahead of this Sunday's show. WWE has stacked the card for this show and will likely add more star power to it. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports
