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-track at Turn 1 as they battled for ninth place in the closing stages of Sunday’s rac🎐e in Barcelona.
Tsunoda subsequently dropped out of the ꦚtop-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’ dec𒀰ision and accused Zhou of 🅺‘pretending’ to be run out of road by taking to the run-off.
“It was a ridiꦦculous penalty,” said Tsunoda. “It feels really unfair.
“I left t✤he room and I feel like he just gave it up early stages. He went outside and pretended likꦜe he got forced out.
“But defi💛nitely there was still space outside there. Obviously I give pressure but there’s still space behind me.
“So I don’t understand why there’s a pe🅺nalty. Feels really har𝄹sh.”
Zไhou disagreed with Tsuno🌠da and felt the penalty was fully-deserved.
"It was very strai🅷ghtforward,” explained Zhou.
"I was ahead before braking into Turn 1 a🐼nd then mid-corner, I was actually giving a lot of space. Then I just saw him [and he] wasn't stopping.
"[He tried] to release the brakes [but he] ran me off, which I had to take avoiding action and [use the] escape road, otherwise we would be crashi﷽ng together.
"So, tℱhat was tricky after that because I had so much rubb🦂ish on my tyre.
“But♏ then, in the end, I was able to keep behind him in the right position and get the position back."
