Yuki Tsunoda is performing well at AlphaTauri. In the first free practice session, the Japanese driver finished in 14th place, but in FP2 Tsunoda seemed to be happy with a P7. However, the afternoon session came to an early end for the rookie.

Late in the second free practice, Tsunoda's AT02 encountered a problem. It didn't cost the 20-year-old driver much track time, but of course, it's not entirely ideal.

Possible electrical problem AlphaTauri

According to Rick Winkelman, commentator for Ziggo Sport, it might be an electrical issue in the car of AlphaTauri. The Faenza based racing team has not made any announcements about this yet. What the exact cause of the problem is we will undoubtedly hear later on!
