In the round-up: Yuki Tsunoda apologised for spoiling one of Pierre Gasly’s qualifying laps after both drivers failed to reach Q3 in Melbourne.
In brief
Tsunoda sorry for spoiling team mate Gasly’s Q2 runTsunoda apologised to AlphaTauri team mate Gasly for compromising one of his hot laps in Q2.
Tsunoda made a mistake at turn 11, running wide onto the gravel and bringing out a brief yellow flag. Gasly came across the scene on his hot lap and had to take avoiding action, ultimately abandoning his run.
“Fucking hell, Yuki,” Gasly exclaimed in reaction on the radio before beginning his final run. He and Tsunoda failed to make the cut for Q3.
“Between Q1 and Q2 I lost complete performance from the car,” Tsunoda explained. “Just completely different and we struggled to adapt it and went outside.
“I’m sorry for Pierre, but also the same time, I just also struggled a lot to control the car.”
