A surprise Red Bull error triggered Yuki Tsunoda to be eliminated
in the first part of sprint qualifying at the Circuit of the
Americas. Tsunoda left the pit lane with 1m 46 seconds remaining
on the clock, while the fastest lap in the first part of the
session was a 1m 33.224. The Japanese driver was among several
other cars who found themselves released late, creating much drama
through the first sector. He tried to calve through those also
preparing for a final lap, but the clock hit zero as he entered the
final corners. As a result of Red Bull's error, Tsunoda will start
from 18th on the grid for the sprint race at the United States
Grand Prix.
