Apologetic RB driver punished for making offensive radio comments in Austrian GP qualifying
RB Formula 1 driver Yuki Tsunoda has been handed a 40,000 euro fine for using offensive remarks during Austrian Grand Prix qualifying. Towards the end of Q1 at the Red Bull Ring Tsunoda was overtaken in the pitlane by Sauber's Zhou Guanyu, and responded by saying “these guys are f***ing retarded” over his team radio.
He contended that his understanding of the words was different, but acknowledged that this should not be considered as an excuse for what he did. “The stewards appreciate the honesty of the driver, but reinforce the fact the words used are offensive and wholly inappropriate. “To have used such words over a platform that is available to the public amounted to misconduct as defined in Article 20 of the International Sporting Code.
