Yuki Tsunoda: Bad timing for poor weekend

Tsunoda finished 17th at the Brazilian Grand Prix F1 race at Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace on Sunday.

Analysis:

Tsunoda is fighting for an F1 seat in 2026 and had some momentum heading into the Brazilian Grand Prix. However, the weekend went poorly from start to finish, as he was eliminated in Q1 for both the sprint and race. Tsunoda then picked up a 10-second penalty on the opening lap of the race, dooming any chance of a recovery drive. This wasn't the weekend Tsunoda needed, and he'll look to regain his form in Las Vegas.
