"The r in rbr really stands for racism"– F1 Twitter accuses Helmut Marko of racism for appointing psychologist for Yuki Tsunoda

Helmut Marko in an interview reveals they have appointed a psychologist for Yuki Tsunoda’s anger issues; F1 Twitter senses racism.

Yuki Tsunoda is known for his outbursts on the radio while driving his AlphaTauri F1 car. But there’s hardly any F1 driver who is not regular in that.

But Red Bull saw a problem with it, and Helmut Marko reveals they have appointed a psychologist for Tsunoda to calm him down. Surprisingly, he compares him with Max Verstappen’s temperament and calls the Red Bull driver a calm person.

However, Verstappen himself has never been easy on his race engineer on team radio. There are several instances when the Dutchman has fumed at his team in a process of communication.

Therefore, comparing Tsunoda’s outbursts to Verstappen seems not ideal, as it is apparent that the 2021 world champion hasn’t been easy on his team on the radio.
