Yuki Tsunoda has been fined for using offensive terms about other drivers over team radio in qualifying.
The FIA stewards summoned Tsunoda over offensive terms he made about other drivers over the radio in qualifying, and deemed that the RB driver had been in breach of Article 12.2.1k of the International Sporting Code for"inappropriate comments made on team radio".
After being overtaken in the pitlane by Sauber's Zhou Guanyu at the end of Q1 at the Red Bull Ring, Tsunoda appeared to say"these guys are f***ing retarded" over team radio. Tsunoda took to social media to apologise:"Hello, I wanted to say big apologies what I said in the radio today. Obviously I didn't use it intentionally and was completely misunderstanding from myself that exact meaning of it. I now have better understanding for what the word means and am very apologetic for what I said. This type of language has no place and is not tolerated and for that I am sorry.
