Yuki Tsunoda crashed out in the closing stages of Q2 at the Mexico City Grand Prix.
During the qualifying session, Yuki Tsunoda caused a red-flag situation in Q2, removing himself and RB team-mate Liam Lawson from Q3 contention by spinning into the barrier at Turn 12. The incident occurred with just 10 seconds left on the clock, preventing several drivers, including Fernando Alonso, Lance Stroll, and Valtteri Bottas, from improving their lap times. Barrier repairs delayed the start of Q3, forcing Alonso to potentially begin in 13th place for his 400th grand prix entry, depending on Tsunoda’s grid penalty. Sergio Perez and Oscar Piastri also faced unexpected elimination in Q1, with Perez finishing 18th in front of his home audience.
