Yuki Tsunoda Rejects Conspiracy Theories

After the finish of the Dutch Grand Prix, fans started talking on social networks about a possible collusion between Red Bull Racing and AlphaTauri – Yuki Tsunoda allegedly stopped twice on the track to call the safety car and help Max Verstappen to the finish. to achieve victory. race.

At a press conference in Monza, Yuki Tsunoda categorically denied any suspicions of malicious intent by AlphaTauri and Red Bull Racing.

Yuki Tsunoda: “I don’t want to know the reason for the suspicion, I don’t care. For those who think so, I can recommend that you get an MRI – I wonder what the brain looks like with such a ridiculous theory.

Red Bull and AlphaTauri are two completely different teams. Yes, we are less different from Red Bull than others, but our team is called differently, our base is in Italy and theirs is in the UK, and we play at a different level.

The facts are very simple: there was a problem with the car and later we confirmed the differential malfunction. Of course the situation seemed confusing, but complaining about the team, me and especially Red Bull is just crazy. At that point, I was in a position where I could earn points. There was no reason to help them.”

Commenting on his radio conversations with the team, Yuki admitted that he misled the engineers by reporting the loose wheel: “I didn’t try my best and I can certainly draw my own conclusions. I first told the team that I felt that the wheel was loose.They started to address this problem and did not look for faults in other parts of the machine.

In the future, in situations like this, I would have to say that something happened to the rear of the car, and not mention a specific defect that I don’t even know about.”
