Ricciardo attempted an overtake on Tsunoda in Mexico City, but got it wrong and made contact with the AlphaTauri, taking the very unhappy Japanese racer out of the race
Yuki Tsunoda lost his temper with Daniel Ricciardo as he was forced to retire after a collision in the Mexican Grand Prix.
Both drivers were hunting for points finishes at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, but the Japanese racer would never get the chance. As Ricciardo tried to overtake on lap 51 of the race, he made contact with the AlphaTauri.
Tsunoda’s car rode up on the wheel of the McLaren before slamming into the floor. “What the f*** is he doing?” he yelled, clearly very unhappy with the Aussie for causing the crash. He then added: “How does he think he can overtake there?”
AlphaTauri called him back to the pits where they tried to change his front wing, but while they were in the process of doing so they noticed a terminal problem on his car and instead decided it would be best to retire the car.
