Hamilton shocked by Tsunoda's questionable practice start

Yuki Tsunoda chose a special place at the Paul Ricard circuit to do his test starts. A number of drivers were frightened by this and this can be seen on the onboard footage.

Tsunoda choose to do the test start but remained dubiously at the side of the track while a number of drivers passed. Lewis Hamilton in particular was startled by the slow moving Japanese and had to avoid him via the pit exit.

In Tsunoda's defence it has to be said that the pit lane is not ideally constructed at Paul Ricard. Drivers coming out of the pits are immediately on the optimal driving line, and the chance of getting in the way of fast-driving cars is great.
