In their most recent Eff Won with DRS podcast, Dax Shepherd and his co-hosts talked about Yuki Tsunoda’s crаzy crush on Jason Statham. The AlphaTauri driver is so into the actor who played Jason in The Transporter that his Airdrop nаme is Jason’s son.

“Funny enough, if you Airdrop Yuki, it says Jason’s son because he just wants to be Jason’s son,” Matthew Collins, who was with Shepherd and Charlie Curtis, said about this. He met him, and it was so sweet.

Statham is a big star for Tsunoda, that much is clear. The AlphaTauri driver finally got to meet his hero at the last race of the season, the 2023 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

The podcast hosts also agreed that this was different when Tsunoda met his idol. They thought it was “the cutest thing” because it looked like a little kid meeting his idol.

After that, the hosts made a joke about how short the two were. Because of this, Statham’s size over Tsunoda “might” have seemed great. Still, the Japanese F1 driver really did have a great day.

It must have been weird for Yuki Tsunoda to meet Jason Statham.

This is how Yuki Tsunoda looked when he met Jason Statham in Abu Dhabi. The Japanese star was thrilled and couldn’t believe this was his “best day ever.”

When he first met the Hollywood star, he thought she was crаzy. Star of AlphaTauri didn’t think Statham would be there when he got ready to sаy.

Interestingly, Tsunoda’s last race went very well. The 23-year-old qualified in sixth place on Saturday and finished the race in eighth place.

He earned his team valuable points that helped them finish eighth in the Constructors’ championship. In the drivers’ standings, he finished the season in 14th place with 17 points.

The Japanese driver will be in his fourth season of F1 and AlphaTauri in 2024. People often sаy that Yuki Tsunoda could move to Red Bull to replace Sergio Perez. It will be interesting to see how things play out over the next few years.
