Yuki Tsunoda debuts in Formula 1 this season and was last week's guest on 'Beyond the Grid'. The young Japanese explained the differences between AlphaTauri team boss Franz Tost and Red Bull Racing advisor Helmut Marko. According to him, the top men are fundamentally different from each other.
According to Tsunoda, it is noticeable that Tost has been in charge of AlphaTauri, formerly Toro Rosso, for many years. "Even in Imola he laughed [after my crash]. He just said, 'Sh*t happens'." According to the 20-year-old driver, the Austrian is a "very good team boss".
Tsunoda didn't only crash at the Imola circuit, he also parked his AT02 in the wall in Monaco. As a result, he lost a great deal of track time, which meant he was unable to perform well in qualifying. Tsunoda had to settle for a disappointing sixteenth place on Sunday, while teammate Gasly finished sixth.

Marko not happy with Tsunoda

Marko was not so satisfied with Tsunoda. "In Monaco, he said you shouldn't crash in practice. And that is exactly what I did. He was not very happy then. He puts quite a lot of pressure on drivers", Tsunoda concludes in the official podcast of Formula 1.
