AlphaTauri Formula 1 rookie Yuki Tsunoda is like a kid in the candy store this season.

The Japanese driver is fast making a name for himself in Formula 1 as the only rookie to score points so far in a 2021 F1 class that also includes Haas F1 Team tandem Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin. Tsunoda finished ninth in his F1 debut at Bahrain this season at Bahrain.

This past weekend, engine troubles sidelined Tsunoda early.

But it was still likely a good weekend for the 20-year-old driver (he turns 21 on May 11). Tsunodo, along with several other drivers, was asked during weekend press conferences about his favorite thing about being an F1 driver.

Red Bull's Max Verstappen spoke the company line and represented just about the entire grid in his response to the question.
