For
Yuki Tsunoda the tenth place he managed to score in the
British Grand Prix was a pretty special point. He was the only driver with a Honda engine who managed to score points during the Grand Prix.
Tsunoda had a tricky sprint race that forced him to start in sixteenth place for Sunday's Grand Prix. The AlphaTauri driver had a strong start and after twenty laps the Japanese was in twelfth place. In the end he managed to improve on that to tenth place. The only point for Honda of the race, although
Max Verstappen was able to add three more after the sprint.
According to Tsunoda, the new format is difficult for the rookies, because they have to get used to the car the most. Besides the Japanese driver,
Mick Schumacher and
Nikita Mazepin, both
Haas F1 drivers, also moved from
Formula 2 to
Formula 1.
