角田裕毅坦言红牛F1生涯令他精疲力竭
角田裕毅回顾在红牛与维斯塔潘搭档的2025赛季，坦言自己感到精疲力竭、享受不到生活，并最终失去席位，但这段经历让他成为更好的车手。
“我享受不到生活”——角田裕毅的红牛F1生涯如何让他“精疲力竭”
一年后，角田裕毅回顾了他在红牛与马克斯·维斯塔潘并肩作战的时光——那段经历对他的心理造成了损耗
在2026年前的F1时代，红牛的第二席位造成了相当多的“伤亡”。
皮埃尔·加斯利、亚历山大·阿尔本、塞尔吉奥·佩雷斯、利亚姆·劳森。无论他们效力时间长短如何，所有人都难以——并最终未能——匹配队友马克斯·维斯塔潘的表现，这有时还影响了他们的心理健康。
佩雷斯与维斯塔潘搭档了四年，随后劳森在2025赛季初只跑了两场大奖赛，接着角田裕毅加入——他几乎有一个完整赛季来证明自己的价值，但由于在赛季中途换队前从未驾驶过小红牛21，他处于劣势。
角田裕毅在整个赛季中表现挣扎，最终在车手积分榜上排名第17，而获得亚军的维斯塔潘以两分之差与世界冠军失之交臂。
在Beyond The 发车区播客中，这位日本车手敞开心扉，讲述了在他努力接近维斯塔潘却无济于事的过程中，那种处境多么令人心力交瘁。
“毫无疑问，2025年是我职业生涯中最艰难的一年，我学到了很多东西，”角田裕毅说。
“我是那种只要吃到好吃的或类似的东西，就能在比赛周之间让自己重置的人。但我开始真正感到挣扎，尤其是到了赛季后半段；不知怎的，当我回到家中时，我感到非常疲惫。
“通常我能够重置自己，在做了一些我真正喜欢的事情之后恢复精力。但我感觉不到那种能量，它再也没有回来，而比赛一场接一场、一场接一场地继续。
“我经历了太多起起伏伏，到了某个时刻，我自己意识到我并不是真的在享受生活，我想说，我并不是真的在享受这种处境，可能也不像前三年那样享受驾驶F1。
“所以，那是一段非常艰难的时期，在赛车之外，我试着解决这个问题，对吧？我能做些什么来帮助自己？如果我回顾过去，除了吃东西或类似的事情，还有什么别的吗？什么让我快乐？通常是朋友，但主要是日本的朋友，然后……好吧，我真正意识到，其实我远离了日本。这大概是我F3第一年以来从未想过的事情。
“好吧，这很艰难，是我必须自己解决的问题。我在心理辅导、训练师和很多事情上得到了很多帮助，但下半赛季的赛程相当繁忙，所以那是一段非常艰难的时期。但与此同时，这一年给了我机会，让我比任何其他年份都更多地审视自己。”
角田裕毅最终失去了发车格上的席位，伊萨克·哈贾尔被提拔至红牛，阿尔维德·林德布拉德在小红牛完成F1首秀；他成为了两支车队的储备车手。
在哈贾尔于夏休期手腕受伤、劳森在红牛顶替这位法国车手后，角田裕毅最终得以回到意大利车队，这为他在小红牛腾出了一个席位。这让这位26岁的车手得以参加最近三场大奖赛，从赞德福特开始，他觉得自己在经历了2025年的磨难后已成为一名更好的车手。
“不确定我还会不会有像2025年那样大的压力、挣扎和艰难时刻，”他补充道。“所以到目前为止，一切都伴随着巨大的挑战。不知怎的，我能够享受那种压力时刻，我感觉非常自在。
“跳进一辆我从未驾驶过的赛车，冲刺赛排位赛制，VCARB车队表现非常出色，在车队积分榜上排名第五——你在大奖赛中真的不能搞砸，你想要拿到积分。不知怎的，我当时觉得，我真的感觉还好，我没有感到那么大的压力。”
他职业生涯中还会有什么比去年所经历的更艰难吗？

“I’m not enjoying life” – How Yuki Tsunoda’s Red Bull F1 stint “exhausted” him
One year on, Tsunoda looks back on his time alongside Max Verstappen at Red Bull – which took a toll mentally
In the pre-2026 Formula 1 eras, Red Bull’s second seat made quite a few casualties.
Pierre Gasly, Alexander Albon, Sergio Perez, Liam Lawson. All of them struggled – and eventually failed – to match team-mate Max Verstappen’s performance, regardless of their multifarious stint lengths, and it sometimes took a toll on their mental health.
Perez got four years alongside Verstappen, then Lawson just two grands prix at the start of the 2025 season, and in came Yuki Tsunoda – with a nearly full campaign to prove his worth, but on the back foot given he had never driven the RB21 prior to his midseason team switch.
Tsunoda struggled throughout the campaign and finished 17th in the drivers’ standings, while runner-up Verstappen missed the world title by two points.
In the Beyond The Grid podcast, the Japanese opened up about how draining that situation was, as he strove to get closer to Verstappen – to no avail.
“Definitely, 2025 was the toughest year in my career, and I learned heaps of things,” Tsunoda said.
“I'm the kind of person, as soon as I had good food or whatever, I was able to reset myself between the race weeks. But I started to really struggle, towards the second half of the season especially; somehow when I came back to my house, I felt very exhausted.
“Normally I'm able to reset myself, get back this energy after I had something that I really like, if I do something that I really like. But I didn't feel that energy, [it] never came back, and the races just kept going and going, going, going.
“I had so much up and down, and at some point I just recognised myself that I'm not really enjoying my life, I would say, like I'm not really enjoying the situation, not really enjoying driving Formula 1 probably as much as I was doing the first three years.
“So, it was a very tough time, and outside of racing, try to solve this issue, right? What can I do to help that? And if I look back, is there something else other than eating food or this stuff? What makes me happy? And normally it's friends, but mostly friends in Japan and... Okay, I really recognised, actually I'm away from Japan. That I really never thought about since probably my first year in F3.
“Okay, this is tough, something that I have to resolve myself. I got help quite a lot with psychology, trainer and a lot of things, but the race [schedule] was pretty busy in the second half, so it was a pretty tough time. But at the same time, the year gave me the opportunity to look myself through a lot more than any other years.”
Tsunoda ended up losing his seat on the grid, as Isack Hadjar was promoted to Red Bull and Arvid Lindblad made his F1 debut at Racing Bulls; he became both teams’ reserve driver.
Tsunoda eventually got to return to the Italian squad after Hadjar injured his wrist over the summer break and Lawson stood in for the Frenchman at Red Bull, vacating a seat for Tsunoda at Racing Bulls. This allowed the 26-year-old to take part in the latest three grands prix, starting from Zandvoort, and he feels like he has become a better driver following his 2025 hardship.
“Not sure I'm gonna have that much pressure and struggle, difficult times, as much as I had in 2025,” he added. “So everything comes so far with big challenges. Somehow I'm able to enjoy that kind of pressure moments and I feel very comfortable.
“Jumping into the car that I’ve never driven, spring qualifying format, VCARB team’s doing really well, running P5 in the teams’ championship – you can’t really mess up for the race, you want to have points. Somehow I was like, I really feel okay, I didn't feel that much pressure.”
Will anything in his career ever be as hard as what he went through last year?
