FIA issue additional penalty for Red Bull F1 star at Canadian Grand Prix
The FIA has imposed an additional penalty on Red Bull F1 driver Yuki Tsunoda following an incident during FP3 at the Canadian Grand Prix.
Oscar Piastri caused a red flag during FP3 in Montreal by hitting the Wall of Champions in his McLaren, leaving debris on the track.
Tsunoda overtook Piastri under red flag conditions, leading to a 10-place grid penalty for the Japanese driver in Sunday’s race.
Despite Tsunoda’s explanation that he was avoiding debris from Piastri’s damaged car, the stewards found him in breach of the rules and issued the penalty.
With a disappointing qualifying result, Tsunoda will start the Canadian GP from last place on the grid, and now has a total of two penalty points on his Super Licence.
On the other hand, Max Verstappen is now just one point away from a potential race ban, as he received three penalty points for his clash with George Russell in Spain.
Although Russell secured pole position for the Canadian GP, he couldn’t resist a playful dig at Verstappen’s penalty points situation in his post-qualifying interview.
