As he was pushing his car with just five minutes left to the race, he crashed his car while doing a U-turn. He brushed his right side, which threw him to the left side of the wall, and he broke his entire front wing and suspension.  

This almost ended the day with just five minutes left. The session was red-flagged, and the teams had just 1 minute left in the day. But every car just went out to the track. Lando Norris was very eager to try one last time on the track with all the traffic ahead of him.

Yuki Tsunoda was disappointed as he crashed his car eventhough he was trying his very best to come sixth fastest. Yuki was nicely approaching the U-turn corner, and suddenly hit the barriers. Norris, who had already set the fastest lap of the day, was following Yuki and saw the collision live.

Max Verstappen and Lando Norris are in title contention, and Yuki’s hand would be a nice contribution for the team. Red Bull's biggest trouble was their second driver. Sergio Perez, Liam Lawson were all changed as they didn't help the team’s cause.

Tsunoda will be a full-time Red Bull driver this year, and his Formula 1 future depends on his performance this season. As Honda is splitting with Red Bull, Tsunoda must prove he deserves to be in the team. There are also uncertainties surrounding Max Verstappen’s future in the team.

The Dutchman is linked with Aston Martin and Mercedes, where the former will be the customer team of Honda, and they will also have Adrian Newey as their designer. Mercedes is predicted to be the strongest team next year, and Max would have been a silver arrow driver if Toto Wolff had signed him in 2014.
