168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Yuki Tsunoda has admitted Red Bull’s F1 car is more diffic🅺ult to drive than Racing Bulls after a disappointing qualifying ꦉat the Japanese Grand Prix.

Having been promoted to Red Bull, Tsunoda could only manage 15th on his qualifying debut for the team as he suffered a heartbreaꦯking Q2 elimination o꧑n home soil.

Tsunoda was nearly half a second adrift of teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen, who went on to stun the McLaren pair and claim a shock pole position, in the second part of qualif💝ying at Suzuka.

The 24-year-old Japanese driver was also slower than 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Liam Lawson, who took 14th on his ret𝔍urn to Racing Bulls following𒅌 his demotion from the main Red Bull team.

Tsunoda♔ opted to run a higher downforce car set-up with his RB21 compared to Versta🔯ppen.

“It’s a bit different to Max but at the same time, it was the wing level I chose in 💧the end,” Tsunoda explain⭕ed.

“Still there was pace to🔴 go through to Q3 looking at the Q1 pace, but I just didn't𒁃 put it all together in the end.”

Despite th🐠e disappointing result, Tsunoda insists he is coping with the pressure of being thrown into t🐓he Red Bull hot seat.

"I felt okay in terms of pre🔯ssure. The las♕t Q2 lap was probably the most pressure time,” he said.

“My mindset was to enjoy it but I had the pace from FP1, so I didn'꧂t exಌpect to end up like this.

“It’s a shame but t💃he positive is that I haꦚve started to understand the car.

"It is quite dif🐎ficult to operatꦦe properly, it’s quite narrow, more than the VCARB, but I have confidence now and and know what to do for the future.”

Yuki Tsunoda ‘paid the price’ for set-up choice

Jacques Villeneuve believes Tsunoda’s car se💧t-up choice ultimately backfired.

“He went for comfort and c♐omfort is never fast,” the🌳 1997 world champion told Sky Sports F1.

“Tsunoda was half a second behind Verstappen and that is not good enough. He got out of Q1 but that is n🐼ot what Red Bull was looking for.

"I think he i🌌s paying the price for set-up choice with a very high downfo🍸rce.

"It might help him save tyres in the race but he won't h💛ave any straight-line speed."
