Yuki Tsunoda: Troubles in Spanish GP

Tsunoda finished 19th in the Spanish Grand Prix F1 race at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on Sunday.

Analysis:

The 17th-place qualifying effort was very uncharacteristic for Tsunoda in a season where he's generally made it through to Q2 and even Q3. He would be among the first to pit on lap 9 for fresh tyres, but drop to the rear as a result. Tsunoda would be mired in back most of the day and unable to make any headway to the field. To add insult to injury, he would be slapped for a 5-second penalty for speeding on pit lane. That would seal Tsunoda's fate and lock him into a disappointing P19 finish.
