RB racer Yuki Tsunoda was left bitterly unhappy with the performance of a sizeable upgrade package made for the Italian Grand Prix.
Yuki Tsunoda expressed disappointment over Honda Red Bull Racing’s sizable Italian Grand Prix upgrade, hoping it would not turn out to be a downgrade following its unexpected poor performance at Monza. Despite bringing new floor upgrades to increase downforce and manage airflow, the parts failed to deliver the anticipated performance boost on the track. Being the only car with the new components, Tsunoda was eliminated in Q1 and got involved in a Turn 1 incident with Nico Hulkenberg’s Haas, leading to his retirement after seven laps. His teammate Daniel Ricciardo finished 13th due to penalties, leaving the team without points. Tsunoda labeled the lack of performance as “ridiculous” compared to simulator expectations, feeling frustrated about the downgrade. Despite the early retirement in the race, Tsunoda believed that the car’s performance with the new parts was lacking on both short and long runs, highlighting the discrepancy between the expected and actual impact of the upgrades.
