The path wasn’t always smooth: he was almost disqualified for asking for a break on his very first qualifying round. The podium called very soon and Yuki answered, even if he didn’t know how to celebrate with a bottle of (fake) champagne. These experiences made Yuki who he is today, attacking every track, corner and straight with energy, determination and hunger. “Yuki’s road to Suzuka” Yuki has raced thousands of laps at the Japanese Suzuka Circuit since 2016, but debuting there as an F1 driver in 2022 showed him how important it was for him to represent his background. Feel Yuki’s passion for every turn of the track, and his determination to honour his roots as he wears his pride close to his heart (and head), with a unique helmet design, adorned with a Japanese maple leaf. “Yuki’s passions off grid” Being an F1 driver doesn’t just include driving on race day, but interviews, training, events and more. What are Yuki’s passions outside of driving? And how does he reset in between races? He steams, in more ways than one. The sauna is Yuki’s happy place to rest his body and mind, whereas the kitchen is his domain to satisfy his stomach. Cooking recipes that are inspired by his mum’s home cooking, Yuki can shut out the noise in these personal places.
