Furious Yuki Tsunoda slams “ridiculous” F1 Spanish GP penalty and claims Zhou Guanyu ‘pretended’ to be forced off
The AlphaTauri driver was slapped with a five-second time penalty after the stewards ruled he had forced 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Zhou Guanyu off-꧑trꦗack at Turn 1 as they battled for ninth place in the closing stages of Sunday’s race in Barcelona.
Tsunoda subsequently dropped✅ out of ꩲthe top-10 and was classified 12th after his penalty was applied, while Alfa Romeo’s Zhou went on to take ninth.
After the race, the Japanese driver slammed the stewards’ decisioꦍn and accused Zhou of ‘pretending’ to be run out of road by taking to the run-off.
“It was a ridiculous🔥 penalty,” said Tsunoda. “It feels really unfair.
𝔍“I left the room and I feel like he just gave it up early stages. He went outsi💛de and pretended like he got forced out.
“But definitely there was s♏till space outside there. Obviously I give pressure but there’s still space behind me.
“So I don’t understa🅠nd why there𝐆’s a penalty. Feels really harsh.”
Zhou disagreed with Tsunoda and 💖felt the penalty was fully-deserved.&🍌nbsp;
"It was very straightforward,” expl💎aineಌd Zhou.
"I was ahead before braking into Turn 1 and then mid-corner, I was actually giv🃏ing a lot of space. Then I just saw him [and he] wasn't stopping.
"[He tried] to release the brake💝s [but he] ran me off, which I had to t🌊ake avoiding action and [use the] escape road, otherwise we would be crashing together.
"So, that was tricky💦 after that because I had so much rubbish on my tyre.🌟
“But then, in the end, I was able to 𒁏keep behind him in the r꧃ight position and get the position back."
