Yuki Tsunoda’s frustration at the end of the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix was evident after his radio messages were broadcast amid being unhappy with a team order.
Yuki Tsunoda has suggested that his radio messages are being specifically targeted by Formula 1 for broadcast purposes. During race weekends, F1 often transmits radio messages from drivers and their race engineers to provide extra information. Tsunoda’s radio messages at the end of the Bahrain Grand Prix were screened amid RB’s instructions to swap positions with teammate Daniel Ricciardo. The Japanese driver expressed his dissatisfaction with the order before letting Ricciardo pass, but his frustration was evident when he almost collided with Ricciardo at Turn 8 after the checkered flag. Since the incident, Tsunoda has pledged to improve his radio communication, which has been a recurring issue throughout his time in F1. Tsunoda, aged 23, believes that his messages are specifically singled out by F1’s production team, but he aims to work on his communication skills and display better behavior on the track in future races.
