When everything seemed circumscribed to be defined hand in hand between the Mercedes and Red Bull drivers, the final stretch of the classification of the Mexican Grand Prix had a previously unthinkable protagonist.Recapitulating what happened, it can be said that the Japanese Yuki Tsunoda was returning to the pits ahead of Sergio Pérez and Max Verstappen who were rushing at speed looking to improve their records, but unexpectedly Yuki got lost in front of the Mexican causing an apparent lack of concentration of the latter and the consequent regulatory preventive deceleration of the Dutchman, both Red Bull drivers ruining their last attempt at pole.Helmut Marko, senior adviser to the Red Bull team did not spare Tsunoda criticism in an interview with the Austrian television Servus TV: “Tsunoda has killed our two cars.I think we would have been very close to Mercedes or maybe to each other.Of course, the superiority that was before has disappeared.It will be a very difficult race”, also hinting at a brief recognition of Mercedes' improvement in qualifying.In tune with Marko, Christian Horner told DAZN: "Although I think the Mercedes have kept something in their pocket and everything was tight, I thought we were going to be at least in the front row because Max was ahead on the last lap, but Tsunoda has ruined the classification for us, not only for Verstappen, but also for Sergio.That last lap was good for both of them, and it's frustrating that they couldn't complete it."Those who also did not avoid the microphones to comment on Tsunoda's maneuver were the affected pilots, Checo declared: "Suddenly I meet Yuki arriving at turn 11, I already begin to lose a lot of load before that, I do not understand what he was doing there in that position.He hurt me quite a bit, I couldn't close that lap.”For his part, the championship pointer Max Verstappen, immediately after the fact, told his team on the radio: "Seriously, you idiot", in clear reference to Tsunoda and his controversial action on the track.Once the qualifying session was over, one of the most sought-after testimonies by journalism was that of the Japanese pilot from Alpha Tauri who defended himself: “I have not messed up with the Red Bulls.It was their own mistake, I went outside and I couldn't do anything more than that.I mean, I don't know, where should I go there?I'll have to talk to Red Bull about it, but I don't think I did anything wrong."Another who gave his opinion on the incident was Franz Tost, head of the Alpha Tauri team: “We told him on the radio that the Red Bulls were coming and he left the track so that they could pass easily and Pérez followed him.It's not Yuki's fault.He didn't make a mistake (going into turn 10), he did it deliberately.We told him that the Red Bulls were coming, that Pérez was coming and he deliberately went to one side so as not to bother them or get in front of them”, clearly defending the action on the track of his pupil.To close all this double wrong and before the rain of criticism that Tsunoda had to endure, those who did not want to be left out of this controversy was the very same Mercedes team that suggestively tweeted: “Keep your head up, Yuki.Don't let the 'haters' discourage you”, putting the last pinch of pepper on a very hot Saturday afternoon on the track.This site is not official and is not related to the Formula One group of companies, F1, FORMULA 1, FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP AND GRAND PRIX are registered trademarks owned by Formula One Licensing BV which is part of the Formula One group of companies.
