Tsunoda lost a position in the early stages of the race before going on to pit twice in relatively quick succession, leaving him stuck in traffic for the majority of the afternoon.
He explained that RB “split the strategy across the garage” but “it didn’t go the way that we wanted”.
BARRETTO: It’s Lawson vs Ricciardo for the second RB seat in 2025 – but is there a way to keep them both happy?
“When we pitted, the lap we pitted on, everything was too late,” Tsunoda added. “When I was rejoining the track I was always behind cars and just always stuck in the dirty air. To be honest, I don’t think we executed anything from our car. I’m not blaming anything on strategy but the timing of when we did it was completely wrong.
“Qualifying was alright and we were lucky on pace as well, but I think I maximised what we can do with our car. To be honest, the race was far away from the place we wanted. I at least wanted to achieve something, but at the end of this race we didn’t take anything, so it was pretty tough.”
