Yuki Tsunoda will demo the 2011 RB7 in San Francisco

Yuki Tsunoda will co-star with Scott Speed in a demo of vintage Red Bull F1 cars on the streets of San Francisco later this month. That certainly beats sitting in the back of a garage with headphones on, as he will usually be doing at grands prix.

No, but seriously, there are much worse F1 teams to be benched by than Red Bull. Not only does Yuki get to drive such cool cars — a perk that will be massively upgraded this year with the Ford tie-up — he gets to be in front of crowds of F1 fans in key markets, staying relevant.
