1997 F1 world champion Jacques Villeneuve thinks 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Yuki Tsunoda’s conservative setup choice backfꦡired, as he failed to score points on his Red Bull debut🔜 at the Japanese Grand Prix.

This weekend was Tsunoda’s first race for Red Bull, stepping in 🀅for Liam Lawson, who has ♌been demoted to Racing Bulls.

Despite showing flashes of pace, Tsunoda could not make it into Q3, settling for 14th on the grid after 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz’s penalty for impeding.

Overtaking was difficult on race dayಞ, so Tsunoda only managed to move up two places, ultimately fin🌌ishing 12th.

Unlike teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen, Tsunoda opted for a bigger rear ring and thus more downforce꧙.

However, with more downforce, there’s more drag, meaᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚning it’s difficult to overtake due to tꦡhe lack of straight-line speed.

Villeneuve believes this setup cho🃏ice was to blame for Tsunod﷽a’s failure to finish in the top 10.

“He went for the safe solution, to bolt a lot of wing onto that car,” he said during Sky Sports’ F1 coverage.

“But as soon as they started pushing in quali and in the race, itꦬ just didn’t pay off. And it was never going to.”

Naomi Schiff added: “It was a poignant reminder that th🌺ese 53 laps were the longest he’d had in the car.

“We had curtailedꦚ sessi🃏ons over this weekend which would have stunted his learning curve.”

“Mixed feelings” for Yuki Tsunoda

Tsunoda ♌is taking the positives from his Red Bull debut despite a disappointing result on home soil.

“I am happy with that race, in terms of my𝐆 performance and the result,” Tsunoda said.

“It was tough, for my home grand prix ⛦I expected more. I wanted to finish in the points. So, mixed feelings.

“These 53 laps are the mosꦓt I’ve had in this car. Every lap I learned. I felt more co♈ntrolled towards the end of the race.”

Teamಞ principal Christian Horner is confident Tsunoda will “make a step forward” in the next races.

Jap🌠an is part of a triple-head﷽er, with Bahrain and Saudi Arabia coming up.

Horner explained: “Bahrain is a completely different challenge. This race was domina𓆏ted by qualifying, 90% of the drivers finished where they🙈 qualified.

“He made one pass, we undercut Pierre during the pit sto🦋ps, then he was stuck behind Fernando.

“He styledꦫ himself into the car and the team. He sh𝐆ould make a step forward in the next races.”
