Yuki Tsunoda has already been told who will replace him at Red Bull after horror crash at Imola GP

Yuki Tsunoda has already been told who will replace him at Red Bull if he doesn't improve his performances.

On Saturday, the Japanese driver was involved in a huge crash during the first qualifying session at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in Imola.

Tsunoda flipped his car and collided with the barriers after losing control of his Red Bull heading into Turn 5.

Thankfully, the 25-year-old appeared to be fine as he walked away from the accident before being sent to the medical centre for checks.

He then confirmed as such in an interview with F1TV.

Heading into the weekend, the pressure started to grow on Tsunoda after scoring just three Grand Prix race points since replacing Liam Lawson.

Speaking on Saturday after FP3, 1997 Formula 1 world champion Jacques Villeneuve claimed that Tsunoda could soon be under pressure and stated that Racing Bulls rookie Isack Hadjar could be next in the Red Bull hot seat.

Villeneuve said on Sky Sports while discussing Hadjar's performances: "[He is doing] very well. Because Melbourne could have been, psychologically, a very tough moment, and he just stood straight and carried on - didn’t get too affected the following race.

"But he seems to be able to work with the team. He seems to understand the car, to put it in a window that allows him to drive well. Because he seems to be out-driving that car. And why? Because he gets that set-up that makes it just more comfortable for him. He can be aggressive. And if I was Tsunoda, I would be worried right now."

He continued: "Remember, Tsuonda was only ever there because of Honda. And they didn’t put him in the main car last year because they don’t want Tsunoda.

"But they didn’t have a choice when Lawson wasn’t up to scratch. And they’re afraid that Hadjar is just too young, not ready, let’s not burn him. But he’s showing now that he might be ready."
