Yuki Tsunoda’s amusing misheard “beaver” radio confusion
Yuki Tsunoda thought he was being warned about a "beav🦄er", writes Lewis Larkam i🍃n Qatar.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda mistakenly thought his RB team were trying to warn him about a “beaver” during the F1 Qatar Grand Prix.
The Japanese driver revealed he was left confused about a radio message he misheard when he believed his team were infor🌟ming him there was a beaver on track.
RB were actually warning Tsunoda about a loose♈ mirror which had fall꧃en off Alex Albon’s Williams during Sunday’s chaotic race at the Lusail International Circuit.
The mirror was 🃏hit by Sauber’s Valtteri Bottas, causing it to shatter an🎃d spread debris all over the pit straight.
Ferrari’s Carlos 🧔Sainz and Mercedes’ 🃏Lewis Hamilton both picked up punctures before the Safety Car was deployed shortly afterwards.
When 🐻asked if he had seen the mirror, Tsunoda said: “Was it mirror? I heard beaver.
🃏“My engineers said: 'There's a beaver.' But whꦐy is there a beaver in the Middle East? Like how is it possible a beaver is in the Middle East?
“But okay, maybe there's a surprise with global warmin☂g - kicking a lot of i📖nteresting things in the Earth.”
Red Bull team principal Christian Hꦉorner joked “that is quite a change” when he was told about Tsunoda’s raཧdio confusion.
Drivers didn’t ‘respect’ yellow flags
Tsunoda claimed some drivers did n♚ot “respect” the yellow flags that were waved after the mirror fell onto the circuit.
McLaren’s Lando Norris was handed🍎 a 10-second stop-and-go penalty for failing to slow for yellow flags, dropping him from second to 10th.
Tsuno♛da, who finished 13th in Qatar, expects the🌼 issue to be raised at the next drivers’ meeting at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
“There was the doꦛuble yellow and some cars behind didn't really follow it,” he said.
“So we have to revise that in the next drivers' briefing that some driver does respect it, and some driver 🍌doesn't respect it. That's very unfair.”
RB endured🧔 a frustr💫ating weekend in Qatar as they lost further ground to Alpine and Haas in the battle for sixth place in the constructors’ championship.
The Faenza o꧅utfit lie eighth on 46 points, eight behind Haas and 13 adrift of Alpine heading into next weekend’s Abu Dhabi finale.
