Red Bull racer Yuki Tsunoda has criticized the 10-place grid penalty he received for overtaking under red flag conditions during Formula 1’s Canadian Grand Prix, which will result in him starting the race from last position on Sunday. Tsunoda passed Oscar Piastri during practice when Piastri faced a red flag situation due to a puncture and suspension damage after hitting the ‘wall of champions’. Tsunoda defended his actions by expressing concern over potential debris from Piastri’s car and questioned the necessity of the penalty, arguing that he acted cautiously during the incident. Despite starting from the back of the grid, Tsunoda remains determined to improve his performance, acknowledging the disappointment of recent results since joining Red Bull. Tsunoda’s frustration with the penalties and his challenging start with the team are evident, but he remains focused on making progress in the upcoming race.
