Yuki Tsunoda suffered another disastrous outing at Barcelona as he qualified dead last ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix.
Yuki Tsunoda faced another setback with Red Bull at the Spanish Grand Prix qualifying, finishing in 20th place in Q1.
The Japanese driver continues to struggle to match the pace of his teammate Max Verstappen in the Milton Keynes-based squad.
Tsunoda’s deficit to Verstappen was just under six-tenths of a second in a tightly congested field.
This marks the third consecutive F1 race where Tsunoda has started outside the top 10.
He expressed concerns about potential damage to his floor after running wide in his first timed effort at the final corner.
Despite returning to the track, Tsunoda couldn’t avoid finishing in the bottom-five drop zone.
As a result, Tsunoda will start from the back of the grid for the race in Barcelona, pending any penalties for other drivers.
