Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko has launched a scathing criticism of168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Yuki Tsunoda following his crash in qualifying at the F1 Mexico City Grand Prix.

Tsunoda lost control of his RB at Turn 12 and cra👍shed into the barriers entering the stadium section of the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez while trying to improve on his final flying lap of Q2.

The 24-year-old’s crash also prevented teammate Liam Lawson from progressing into Q3, with the RB pair set to line up 11th and 12th on t🐓he grid for Sunday’s grand prix.

Afte🦹r qualifying, Marko blasted Tsunoda fo꧙r what he described as being a “totally unnecessary crash”.

“He is still 🌺too unstable,” Marko told Sky Germany. “Yuki also had a spin in Austin an😼d now this crash in qualifying.

“We thought he was stabilised, but apparently he’s not. Now, when the pressure comes off [Liam] Lawson, it’s ಞeven ♌more noticeable.”

Marko ad🦂ded: “He has a new🦂 floor, just like Lawson and I don’t know if they have any spare parts,” Marko said.

“If you had to rebuild⛎, it would be a relegation to the back row. So it was a totally unnecessar🌳y crash.”

Tsunoda is set to get his first test outing in Red Bull F1 machinery at the post-season𓆉 test following the Abu Dhabi Grand♒ Prix.

He has seemingly been overlooked for a💫 Red Bull promotion but is hoping to stake a claim❀ to become Max Verstappen’s teammate as Sergio Perez continues to face an uncertain future despite being under contract for 2025.

Exp🌸laining his accident, Tsunoda said: “So having a front lock-up was already game over and there was no way I could make the corner.

“It’s strange, I didn’t really push hard there, and thr🌱oughout the week, I didn’t have any front lock up in any lap in that corner.

“So I got surprꦛised about that, but nonetheless, it’s a shame not to be able to maximise this opportunity.”
