Tsunoda and Hadjar: Starting position penalties shock F1 fans in Canada!
Yuki Tsunoda and Isack Hadjar are the two Red Bull drivers facing penalty transfers at the upcoming Canadian Grand Prix. While Tsunoda, who secured 11th place in qualifying, has to start at the back of the field due to a rule violation, Hadjar receives a three-position penalty for impeding behavior during qualifying.
Tsunoda will start the race in 20th place after a ten-place grid penalty for overtaking Oscar Piastri under red flags in the third free practice session. Piastri had previously suffered a puncture and was driving at just 86 km/h, while Tsunoda overtook him at 171 km/h. This action led to a clear decision by the FIA stewards, who certified that Tsunoda had violated the rules set out in Appendix H, Article 2.5.4.1 b) of the International Sporting Code. Tsunoda himself was surprised at the penalty and argued that he only wanted to react to debris from Piastri's damaged car.
Penalties and Qualifications
The source of information Laola1 continues that Hadjar was given a three-place penalty for impeding Carlos Sainz in the braking zone before Turn 6. Due to Tsunoda's penalty, Hadjar will now start from 12th place, while Sainz was ranked 17th based on his qualifying time. Hadjar expressed remorse and spoke of a miscommunication that led to the situation.
In addition, Tsunoda also had two penalty points added to his super license in the last twelve months, bringing his total to two penalty points. With 12 penalty points, drivers face a ban for the next race weekend, which illustrates the serious consequences of breaking the rules in Formula 1. In the current season, various drivers and their penalties have already been documented, which are dictated by the FIA's proven penalty system. The information on this is provided Motorsport Magazine.
Conclusion
The penalties for Tsunoda and Hadjar illustrate the strict regulations and the high pressure that drivers in Formula 1 are under. The Canadian Grand Prix, which takes place on June 15, 2025 at 2 p.m. local time, will definitely be exciting as the two Red Bull drivers will try to fight for a place at the back of the field despite their relegations. It remains to be seen how this situation will affect the race.
