Tsunoda su🌸bsequently dropped out of the top-10 and was classified 12th after his penalty was applied, while Alfa Romeo’s Zhou went on to take ninth. 

After the race, the Japanese driver slammed the stewa🌼rds’ decision and accused Zhou of ‘pretending’ to be run out of road by taking to the run-off. 

“It was a 𒊎ridiculous penalty,” said Tsunoda. “It feels rea🌳lly unfair. 

“I left the ro💯om and I feel like he just gave it up early stages. He went outside and pretended like he got forced out.

“But definitely there was still space outside there. Obvio﷽usly I give pressure but there’s still space behind me. 

“So I ဣdon’t und♔erstand why there’s a penalty. Feels really harsh.”

Zhou disagreed with ﷽Tsunoda and felt the penalty was fully-deserved. 

"It wꦺas very straightforward,” explained Zhou🌱. 

"I was ahea🌞d before braking into Turn 1 and then mid-corner, I was♔ actually giving a lot of space. Then I just saw him [and he] wasn't stopping.

"[He tried] to release the brakes [but h♌e] ran me off, which I had to take avoiding action and [use the] escape road, otherwise we would be c൲rashing together.

"So, that was tricky after that because I 🐻had so much rubbish 𒊎on my tyre. 

“But then, in the end, I was able to keep behind h🎃im in the right position and get the position back."
