In a shocking turn of events at the Bahrain Grand Prix, Red Bull F1 driver Yuki Tsunoda has been handed a reprimand by the FIA following a pit lane incident during a practice session. The young driver, who recently joined the Red Bull team, found himself in hot water after overtaking in the pit lane and struggling to remember which team he was driving for.
The FIA confirmed Tsunoda’s penalty verdict after reviewing data and video evidence, stating that the overtake on another Red Bull driver, Alex Albon, was not justified. Overtaking in the pit lane is strictly prohibited unless under extraordinary circumstances, a rule that Tsunoda unfortunately disregarded.
This incident adds to Red Bull’s woes this season, with the team heavily reliant on one driver for points. This situation is reminiscent of 2024 when Sergio Perez’s inability to match Max Verstappen’s performance cost the team valuable points in the constructors’ championship.
As Red Bull navigates through this setback, fans are left wondering if history is repeating itself and if the team can overcome these challenges to secure a better position in the championship standings. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
