Yuki Tsunoda will visit the Formula 1 stewards after being alleged to have made an ableist comment over team radio.
The FIA is currently investigating Yuki Tsunoda following allegations of him making ableist comments during the qualifying session in Austria. In a team radio communication, Tsunoda can be heard using the phrase “these guys are fucking retarded” while expressing frustration with rival drivers exiting the pit lane during Q1. The incident happened after Tsunoda was passed by Zhou Guanyu in the fast lane. The potential violation of the FIA’s International Sporting Code is linked to Article 12.2.1.k, which addresses any misconduct, particularly in the ‘Breach of Rules’ section. This is not the first time drivers have faced scrutiny for derogatory remarks, with Max Verstappen being investigated in 2020 for disrespectful comments towards Lance Stroll but was not sanctioned. Tsunoda qualified in 14th place, with his teammate Daniel Ricciardo finishing ahead in 11th. Don’t miss the opportunity to win an F1 car – subscribe to our YouTube channel now!
