Yuki Tsunoda suffers latest Mexico City retirement before grand prix
Yuki Tsunoda’s outing at the Mexico City Grand Prix did not go as he had hoped.
Before the race, Tsunoda drove the Honda RA272 at Autodromo Hermanos Rodríguez to commemorate Honda’s first F1 victory, which took place almost 60 years ago at the Ciudad Deportiva Magdalena Mixhuca.
In that race, American Richie Ginther won, making it the only victory in the season not by a British manufacturer or driver.
Tsunoda’s attempt to celebrate Ginther’s victory by driving his car ended abruptly due to technical issues, marking his fourth ‘retirement’ in five attempts at the circuit.
Overall, Tsunoda’s experience was a disappointing end to what could have been a memorable tribute to Honda’s historic achievement in F1.
