F1 | AlphaTauri, Tsunoda stopped by Monte Carlo barriers

from Monte Carlo, Monaco

The other side of AlphaTauri is certainly not happy today. In fact, Tsunoda had several driving problems during free practice, and was unable to complete more than 11 laps in the afternoon session, also crashing into the wall. For him, therefore, a performance to forget, not so much for the ranking, which as it is Thursday means practically nothing, but for the confidence that a rookie should acquire on a unique track like Monte Carlo aboard a Formula 1 car.

“Unfortunately my second session ended very early – a regretful Tsunoda explained. I wasn't pushing that much in the corners, but I lost grip and hit the wall. I don't know how much this will affect my preparation for the race, obviously losing precious minutes of practice isn't ideal, but I have two sets of soft for Saturday so it's not all to waste. I need to prepare more for qualifying and put together a clean lap when it really counts."
