Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko has launched a scathing criticism of168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Yuki Tsunoda following his crash in qualifying at the F1 Mexico City Grand Prix.

Tsunoda lost con🙈trol of his RB at Turn 12 and crashed into the barriers entering the stꦰadium section of the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez while trying to improve on his final flying lap of Q2.

The 24-yea𝓰♈r-old’s crash also prevented teammate Liam Lawson from progressing into Q3, with the RB pair set to line up 11th and 12th on the grid for Sunday’s grand prix.

After qualifying, Marko blasted Tsunoda for what he described as༺ being a “totally unnecessary crash”.

“He is st♉ill too unstable,” Marko told Sky Germany. “Yuki also had a spin in Austin and now this crash in qualifying.

“We thought he was stabilised, but a🎶pparently he’s no🍨t. Now, when the pressure comes off [Liam] Lawson, it’s even more noticeable.”

Marko added: “He has a new floor,🐭 just like Lawson an🍎d I don’t know if they have any spare parts,” Marko said.

“If you had to rebuild, iꩲt would be a relegation to the back row. So iꦰt was a totally unnecessary crash.”

Tsunoda is set to get his first test outin꧋g in Red Bull F1 machinery at the post-season test following the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

He has seemingly been overlooked for a Red Bull promotion but is hoping to stake a claim to become Max Verstappen’s teammate as Sergio Perez continues to face an uncertai🌟n future despite being under contract for 2025.

Explaining his accident, Tsunoda said: “S𝐆o having a front lock-up was already game over and there was no way I could make the corner.

“It’s strange, I didn’t really push hard there, and throughout the week, I didn’t have any front lock up꧑ in any lap in that corner.

“So I got surprised about that, but nonetheless, it’s a shame not to be able to ꦑmaximi𒊎se this opportunity.”
