Red Bull Admit 'Critical' Situation After Yuki Tsunoda's 'Unacceptable' Imola Crash - The Mirror

Yuki Tsunoda, Red Bull Racing driver, crashed and flipped his car during Imola qualifying on May 18, 2025, causing major damage and a pit-lane start at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
The crash occurred after Tsunoda aggressively pushed on his first flying lap in Q1, trying to pass with only one set of tyres amid significant car setup changes.
The accident forced a costly overnight repair for Red Bull mechanics, and team advisor Helmut Marko described the parts supply situation as "really critical."
Tsunoda admitted the crash was "really stupid" and "unacceptable," taking full responsibility while expressing shame and disappointment and reassured by Marko of no seat pressure.
This setback threatens Tsunoda's progress in a competitive Red Bull seat after replacing Liam Lawson, with upcoming triple-header races heightening pressure to recover quickly.
