Yuki Tsunoda Takes Responsibility for Monaco Grand Prix Disaster
Young F1 sensation Yuki Tsunoda is not holding back on blaming himself for his latest misfortune at the Monaco Grand Prix. Despite showing glimpses of potential in the practice sessions, Tsunoda’s weekend turned into a nightmare after failing to advance past Q2.
Starting from 12th on the grid, Tsunoda’s chances of scoring points dwindled, especially after a collision with Pierre Gasly early in the race. Stuck in the infamous Monaco train, Tsunoda struggled to make an impact and ultimately finished in a disappointing 17th place.
The Red Bull driver acknowledged his own role in the poor qualifying performance, admitting, “I just put myself in that situation, so I just need to do better in qualifying.” Tsunoda expressed frustration at his messy performance in Monaco, despite showing decent race pace in practice leading up to the event.
Reflecting on the challenging race, Tsunoda emphasized the importance of qualifying better to avoid getting caught in unfavorable race situations. Although he recognized the competitive nature of Monaco, he lamented not being able to capitalize on the potential pace he had shown earlier in the weekend.
With the Monaco Grand Prix now behind him, Tsunoda is determined to learn from his mistakes and improve his qualifying performances going forward. As he sets his sights on future races, the young driver remains focused on making the most of his opportunities and showcasing his true potential on the F1 circuit.
