The stewards judged that Tsunoda failed to move out of the way fo༺r Bottas during the early stages of Q3 ܫat the Red Bull Ring.

The Finn was on his first fast lap 𒉰i💫n Q3 and came across the AlphaTauri driver on the run into Turn 4.

The Japanese rookie qualified eighth but the penalty moves him back to 11th on 𒅌the grid.

This promotes F꧙ernando Alonso, Lance Stroll and George Russell up a place, with the Williams driver set to start from🌳 tenth.

The stewards ruled: “Car 22 had🎉 just completed a fast lap and had communication from the team that he was now on aꩲn in-lap.

“Car 77 approached Car 22 at the entry to Turn 4. Car 2💫2 was on the racing line and while he attempted to move off the racing line to the outside, he did impede ca♐r 77 unnecessarily.

“It is the responsibility of every driver to be aware of faster cars when they are on a slow lap. Tꦫhe team should have assisted the driver in being aware of the approaching faster car but su😼ch lack of communication is not an excuse for the driver.”

Speaking to Sky Sports F1 after qualifying, Tsꩵunoda felt he didn’t hamper Bottas’ lap significantly. 

“There is still a gap between me and Valtteri and there’s a little bit of a crest before Turn 4. The point I saw him was already in the braking zone,” Tsunoda said. “It’s a mistake, but to be honest if I changed direction and went 😼iꦺnside I think that would really be in the braking zone.

“So I also expected that Valtteri was going to overtake me on the inside so it could have been a b⛄ig shunt. There was nowhere to go so that’s why I went straight. It looks like there’s still a gap. I know it’s really difficult. I don’t think I ruined his lap too much.”
