Tsunoda barely makes the Las Vegas Grand Prix
Telling the media about his travels, Tsunoda shared the details of how his travels almost went wrong even though he had the proper approval to enter the country. "I have a visa and everything. It's all the same at the past three circuits [where we've been], right? So it felt a bit weird that I was stopped. Fortunately, it didn't take more than two or three hours. But it will be a long journey for me [on the way back]."
After solving the issues he said, "Fortunately, they let me into the country after a few discussions, or actually a lot of discussions. I was almost sent back home. But we are here now. Everything is good now. Fortunately, I am here."
Tsunoda was in the United States of America a mere five weeks ago for the Austin GP. To this, he said, "Yes, exactly. It's not like it's the first time we've been here this year. I've heard a lot of things. Hopefully, that will improve in the future."
