Tsunoda lashes out at stewards in Canada: 'Easy to say from your seat'

During FP3, Oscar Piastri hit the Wall of Champions. The Australian could slowly come back to the pit lane, however, because of the debris he left in the final chicane, the red flag was waved.

On the back straight, Tsunoda overtook the McLaren driver. For that, he received a 10-place grid penalty because of a red flag infringement. After finished in P11 in qualifying, he will have to start from the back of the grid as a result at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

"Yes, so it's funny," Max Verstappen's teammate began to Viaplay.

The Japanese driver also underlined he did everything safely in order to avoid another incident.

"It's just a very questionable," he continued.

"It's just, I mean, what do they want me to do it? Apparently they want me to stick behind with 80 kilometres per hour. And I saw the tyre was going sideways a lot, I thought the tyre going to take off," he further explained why he could not just stay and wait behind Piastri's McLaren.

Therefore, he also questions whether the stewards understood the situation he was in. "For them it's easy to say, sitting in a chair, watching, but for me it's very dangerous, like you see the car is going sideways, tyre is going sideways, debris going everywhere. You want to avoid being hit by that. So I don't know what to do," he concluded.
