Yuki Tsunoda was knocked out in t🌞he first leg of qualifying for the Miami Grand Prix sprint after failing to get across the line in time to start his final fly🌞ing lap.

Tsunoda had poste🦹d a best time of 1m29.246s in a traffic-disrupted first run in qualifying, which left him in the danger zone as the clock ticked down to zeroಌ in SQ1.

The Red Bull driver should have had another chance at progressing into SQ2, but the c🐼hequered flag was waved just seconds before he reached the start/finish straight, preventing him from getting another lap on board.

His previous effort was only good enough for 18th on the grid on a day his teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen qualified a strong fourth in the sister RB21.

Tsunoda revealed that Haas driver 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oliver Bearman compromised his first flying lap in qualifying, whi🐭ch then left him on the back foot for the remainder of theꦓ session.

“Some intelligent car just came out from [the] pit and [I had to] a𝔉bort my lap,” he said. “A lot of cars cost my lap quite a lot.

“First lap… yeah, to be honest, that’s it. In the la💎st corner I had quite a lock-up, but to be honest the𝓰 lap was pretty gone already from Turn 1 because of the car at the pit exit. Just [wasn’t] able to do a proper lap at all, so that’s it.”

T🀅sunoda was running behind Verstappen on track in the closing stages of the sprint qualifying on Friday.

However, as it became clear to Verstappen that he was safely h꧙eading into SQ2, he aborted💟 his final run and dove into the pitlane, right in front of Tsunoda.

The 🤡Japanese dr🅺iver blamed poor communication for his SQ1 exit, suggesting Red Bull could have done more to prioritise him in that situation.

“Yeah, I was [aware it was 🎃tight] ౠbut what do you want me to do, because there’s a car in front.

“Comm💮unication is pretty poor asꦬ well and, just in general, I didn’t [do] a proper Qualifying.”

Asked about his prospects for t🌳he sprint, he added: “It’s🍷 pretty far back.

“I’ll try my best obviou🔯sly, anything can hapꦓpen at this track. I keep positive and I’ll do my best.”
