Yuki Tsunoda (Scuderia AlphaTauri) has withdrawn from the 2022 F1 Dutch Grand Prix Final.
On lap 41, Yuki Tsunoda switched from soft to medium tires as he was in 10th place. However, Yuki Tsunoda complained that the tires weren’t installed and stopped the machine on the track. However, the team asked him to move the tires and returned to the pits.
Scuderia AlphaTauri asked Yuki Tsunoda to change soft tires and check seat belts.
Yuki Tsunoda leaves the pit, but runs slowly. From now on, he stops the machine at the 1st corner and retires after complaining about a problem with the differential. With Yuki Tsunoda’s retirement, a virtual game car was introduced.
Scuderia AlphaTauri and Yuki Tsunoda were summoned by the stewards after the race about this.
However, this retirement worked in favor of Max Verstappen (Red Bull Racing). Verstappen was racing in the lead, but by then the two F1 Mercedes, thought to have a one-stop strategy on the hard tyres, were on good pace and in a rush. Verstappen was in third place behind Mercedes. .
Finally, after the retirement of Valtteri Bottas (Alfa Romeo), the safety car entered, and Max Verstappen, who had fallen back to 2nd place after changing tires, overtook Lewis Hamilton, who remained absent at the restart, and regained the lead and won the championship.
However, due to the virtual safety car, Max Verstappen switched to hard tires and returned to racing in the lead. On the other hand, the two Mercedes F1 cars, wary of the Ferraris behind them, made their pit stops and changed to medium tyres, aiming for a double podium. Verstappen has even more advantage.
On the net, “When did Alpha Tauri hire Flavio Briatore?” In order to win Fernando Alonso at the 2008 Singapore F1 GP, Nelson Piquet Jr. Some fans were suspicious of it, likening it to the “Crashgate Incident”.
