In brief
Tsunoda vows to avoid “stupid moves” after reaching eight penalty points
Yuki Tsunoda says he will take care not to collect further penalty points on his licence after a yellow flag error at Monza increased his total to eight. An automatic race ban is triggered when 12 points are reached.
“Of course I’ll take care as much as possible to not do stupid moves,” Tsunoda told media including RaceFans after qualifying yesterday. “The things a couple of times I did, unnecessary things, that yellow flag for example, I’ll try definitely to stop those things.”
He said his penalty for failing to slow for a yellow flag was due to a “miscommunication” with his race engineer. “Normally, of course, I reduce myself the speed and I never got a penalty for a yellow flag. There was a bit of misunderstanding over the radio, that’s why I didn’t really slow.
“Still, it’s my responsibility, I should still reduce it, especially for a yellow flag when it’s for the safety. I’ll learn for next time.”
Former Red Bull junior Vips’ future “looking quite difficult”
Despite securing his first Formula 2 win of the year in the Monza sprint race, Jüri Vips admitted that his future is highly uncertain due to his performance in the series this year.
Vips was dropped from the Red Bull Junior Team after he used a racial slur on a Twitch stream. He said that his involvement with the team, for whom he was test and reserve driver until the incident, even driving in a first practice session in Barcelona, was “all done and over, in the past.”
For his future, the driver who currently lies eighth in the F2 standings, said: “We’re still looking into next year. It’s looking quite difficult at the moment based on where we are in the championship and how the season’s gone. So we’re trying. But can’t give you anything yet.”
