Yuki Tsunoda questions F1 stewards despite 'deserved' penalty

Yuki Tsunoda finished a lapped last at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone and questioned the F1 stewards' decision.

Yuki Tsunoda has conceded his penalty for ramming Oliver Bearman in the British Grand Prix was "deserved" but still questioned the F1 stewards.  On lap 22, just after the restart where Max Verstappen spun the sister Red Bull, Tsunoda was passed around the outside of Brooklands by Bearman, but then tipped the Haas into a spin.  For this, Tsunoda received a 10-second penalty and a single penalty point on his super-licence, taking him to five for the 12-month period.  In Austria, Tsunoda was handed two points for colliding with Franco Colapinto and picked up two for overtaking a damaged Oscar Piastri under red flags in Canadian GP practice. Whilst he felt the Bearman penalty was justified, Tsunoda did question his treatment at the hands of F1 stewards over recent races.  "I deserve the penalty, but 10 seconds, obviously last year, it was probably five seconds," Tsunoda told media, including RacingNews365.  "So they did not make any exceptions, but it is what it is.  "I was already pretty annoyed with the pace, but it is just very harsh to be honest,  "10 seconds felt like two days, but they gave it, and they have not been nice to me recently with these penalty points and overtaking a damaged car [of Piastri in Montreal]. "But I am just really focused more towards performance now anyway."
