What Happened to Yuki Tsunoda?
Yuki Tsunoda has had another disastrous Grand Prix at Baku this weekend as he suffered a second DNF in a row. The Japanese driver collided with Lance Stroll on the opening lap of the race resulting in his V-CARB car suffering massive damage on the side.
Although Tsunoda continued in the race, he eventually had to retire. As for Stroll, he suffered a puncture on his Aston Martin following the collision. The Canadian was carrying on in the race in 17th until pulling into the pits due to a brake failure in the final few laps. However, the incident will cost Tsunoda and V-CARB massively when it comes to the championship standings.

Before the race in Baku, V-CARB were sixth in the standings with a six-point advantage over seventh-placed Haas. With Oliver Bearman in the points for Haas and V-CARB not scoring any, the Faenza-based outfit have lost a point in their battle with Haas.
Meanwhile, both Tsunoda and Hulkenberg have scored 22 points each in the drivers’ standings. While the German was in a good position to get a point, his eventual P11 finish has helped Tsunoda stay level.
