Yuki Tsunoda suffered a horrid start to free practice in São Paulo, but it could have been so much worse!
Yuki Tsunoda experienced a frightening moment during the only free practice session ahead of the São Paulo Grand Prix.
Approximately eight minutes into the session at Interlagos, Tsunoda spun at Turn 5 but managed to avoid a serious crash with the barriers.
Despite the front of his RB21 car making contact with the barrier, the damage was minimal.
Tsunoda’s tyres were heavily damaged, especially the left-front with a significant flat spot, and a new front wing was required due to minor endplate damage.
He swiftly returned to the Red Bull garage for repairs, highlighting a tense start for the Japanese driver as he continues to strive for success in Formula 1.
