2018 Japanese Formula 4 champion, Yuki's rise has been rapid in recent years. He only began racing in 2016 in Formula 4, and after winning the title 3 seasons later, he moved into the FIA Formula 3 and Euroformula Open series. As part of both Red Bull and Honda's junior squad, he really impressed in his sophomore year in Formula 2 in 2020, winning three races and earning a place on the Formula 1 grid with Alpha Tauri for 2021. He remained there in 2024 now as the VCARB team.
