Kimi Antonelli set for Abu Dhabi penalty after pit-lane crash with Yuki Tsunoda
Kimi Antonelli and Mercedes are facing a penalty from the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix stewards due to a pit-lane collision with Yuki Tsunoda from Red Bull during the final practice session. As the drivers were on their qualifying simulation runs, Antonelli was permitted to leave his garage. However, the 19-year-old Italian collided with Tsunoda’s car in the pit lane, leading to an FIA investigation of an unsafe release. The impact on Tsunoda’s car prevented him from setting a fast lap and ended up at the bottom of the timesheet, while Antonelli had to change his front wing and finished ninth-fastest, trailing his teammate George Russell by 0.373s. In addition to Antonelli, Williams is also being investigated for an unsafe release involving Alex Albon in a previous incident during the session.
