Yuki Tsunoda’s amusing misheard “beaver” radio confusion
Yuki Tsunoda thought he was being warned about a "beaver", 𓄧writes Lewis ﷺLarkam in Qatar.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda mistakenly thought his RB team were trying to warn him about a “beaver” during the F1 Qatar Grand Prix.
The Japanese 🎃driver revealed he was left confused about a radio 🔥message he misheard when he believed his team were informing him there was a beaver on track.
RB were actually warning Tsunoda about a loos😼e mirror which had fallen off Alex Albon’s Williams during Sunday’s chaotic race at the Lusail International Circuit.
The mirror was hit by Sauber’s ❀Valtteri Bottas, causing it to shatter and spread debris all over the pit straight.
Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz and Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton both picked up punctures before the Safety Car was deployed sh🐲ortly afterwards.
When asked if he had ♑seen the mirror, Tsunoda said: “Was it mirror? I heard beaver.
“My engineers said: 'There's a beaver.' But why is there a beaver in the Middle East✤? Like how is it possible a beaver is in the Middle East?
“But okayꦫ, maybe there's a surprise with global warming - kicking a lot of interesting things in the Earꦗth.”
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner joked “that is🌠 quite a change” wheཧn he was told about Tsunoda’s radio confusion.
Drivers didn’t ‘respect’ yellow flags
Tsunoda claimed some drivers did♓ not “respect” the yellow flags tha🌞t were waved after the mirror fell onto the circuit.
McLaren’s Lando Norris was handed a 10-second stop-and-go pena🌊lty for failing to slow for yellow flags, drop𓃲ping him from second to 10th.
Tsunoda, who finished 13th in Qatar, expects the issue to be raised at the next drivers’ meeting at the 🍌season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
“There was the double yellow 🦂and some cars behind didn't really follow it,” he said.
“So we have to revise that in the next driv﷽ers' briefing that some driver do༺es respect it, and some driver doesn't respect it. That's very unfair.”
RB endured a frustrating weeke🍬nd in Qatar as they lost further ground to Alpine and Haas in the battle for sixth place in the constructors’ champions♏hip.
The Faenza outfit lie eighth on 46 points, eight behind Haas and 13 adrift of Alpine heading i༒nto next weekend’s Abu Dhabi finale.
