Speaking ahead of the race weekend, Tsunoda had shared his excitement for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, which kicks off the European leg of the 2025 season. He explained in a press release from the team:

"I am looking forward to returning to Europe to race this week, Italy is where I have called home for a long time now and with such a crazy schedule across the season now, I value all the time I get to spend here.

"I hope everyone enjoys some good pizza and pasta this week and I hope it fuels the team and me to a good result. After Miami we knew we had work to do to get the car in a better place, we need a more balanced car to compete and I know how important it is for me to be pushing for higher places.

"We have some updates to bring to Imola and it should mean we see some positive improvements. I feel confident in the car in general, which is promising so early on in my time with the team and I know what I need to do. It's the team's 400th race too, so it will be a special weekend for everyone and one I am looking forward to."
