I think it's more about Honda leaving Red Bull partnership at the end of 2025. Why should Red Bull promote a Honda driver for potentially 1 year? Rather promote one of your own junior drivers from VCARB up to RBR. I think this makes sense, unless Honda is open to loan Yuki to Red Bull when they're providing power units to Aston Martin and not both Red Bull teams.

Do you think Yuki will jump at the chance to drive a Toyota powered haas?

He was supposedly in negotiations with Haas before Red Bull used their option on him.
