Tsunoda frustrated, but unscathed after the qualified crash, intact

The Japanese Formula 1 driver Yuki Tsunoda went away and got the all-clear of medical staff after he had seriously damaged his car on Saturday in the first qualification for the Grand Prix of Emilia-Romagna.

Tsunoda turned out of control on a curve and slammed into the barriers during the first quarter, the first of three qualification periods that expect the drivers to place for the race on Sunday. He will start last place in 20th place in his fifth race around Red Bull.

“Fortunately, I'm fine. But at the same time it is very frustrating how I ended up [there] In such an early phase and especially in a very unnecessary situation, “said Tsunoda on the official F1 website.

“It was a big mystery how I landed … we didn't know exactly why, but we made a lot of changes and it felt pretty good in the first round, round 2 and round 3, and I fell immediately.”

Tsunoda was in his first race with Red Bull on April 6, 12th in the Japanese Grand Prix, took ninth place in Bahrain, retired in Saudi Arabia and took 10th place in Miami.
