Yuki Tsunoda: I do not know why I did not have speed.

Yuki Tsunoda: I do not know why I did not have speed.

      The Spanish Grand Prix turned out to be extremely unsuccessful for Yuki Tsunoda. In qualifying, the Red Bull Racing driver showed the latest time, but did not claim points in the race and finished thirteenth. Commenting on the results of the performances in Barcelona, Yuki could not explain what caused the lack of speed.

      "Before the Monaco stage, I was constantly progressing, and already in Monaco in some sessions I rode at Max level or even faster, but here the pace suddenly dropped sharply," said Yuki Tsunoda after the finish. – No matter what I did, no matter how I changed the settings, nothing happened, and the pace over a long distance is an example of that.

      I felt that the car was "eating" the rubber very much, the degradation was just huge. I feel like there is some major limiting factor, and I still don't know what that factor is, I don't have an answer.

      At the last Grand Prix, the team and I were on the same wavelength, and I had the pace. Qualifying in Monaco turned out to be unsuccessful, but at least I had the pace, and I have repeatedly heard from the team that it has been a long time since a second rider rides at Max's level or even faster.

      Everyone was happy, but in Barcelona my pace suddenly dropped for some reason. I couldn't show my best. There was something very, very strange about the car's behavior at this stage. A mystery."
