Yuki Tsunoda, an RB driver, was forced to retire on lap 27 due to a collision, leaving him “very annoyed.” The native of Japan has acknowledged that Kevin Magnussen should only get a “minimum penalty” of 10 seconds.

A lost chance to gain points

The collision happened on the lap after Magnussen sent his Haas up the inside of Tsunoda during the safety car restart. The Dane crashed into his rival’s side when he was unable to slow down the vehicle.

Magnussen was able to continue after the collision, and Tsunoda retired the vehicle by pulling to the side.

The driver for RB expressed his dissatisfaction, saying that up until lap 27, he was “pretty happy” with his development.

Tsunoda stated:

“Yes, I believe I was content with my development up to that point in terms of my current, let’s say, circumstances and my abilities.”

“I suppose I’m a little frustrated with how things worked out, especially because I gave him a lot of room and I ended up with a DNF. incredibly irritated

For Tsunoda, five seconds is insufficient.

Magnussen finished 16th out of 17 competitors, demonstrating that the 10-second penalty imposed on him had effectively stopped his advancement. Nevertheless, the collision cost RB points because it happened after a collision involving Daniel Ricciardo and Lance Stroll on the previous lap.

In the Constructors’ Championship, RB is still in sixth place, two points clear of Haas in seventh.

The man who was born in Japan also missed out on points for the first time in his career after finishing first and second in the Australian and Japanese Grand Prix.

Tsunoda expressed his annoyance about the event and acknowledged that he was happy Magnussen was spared a five-second punishment.

Tsunoda continued, “10 seconds is definitely better than five seconds.” And in my opinion, that’s the bare minimum punishment they ought to impose.

“Well, he’s still racing, but I’m not so much.”It’s unfortunate that I finished the race in the middle, but I kind of right that race.

There are still a lot of things to work on, and the speed wasn’t really good either. Although I was generally satisfied with my performance and the development I had made, the pace wasn’t particularly fast or typical.
