168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Yuki Tsunoda mistakenly thought his RB team were trying to warn him about a “beaver” during the F1 Qatar Grand Prix.

The Japanese driver revealed he was left confused about a radio message he misheard when he believed his teamꦬ were informing him there was a beaver on ꦏtrack.

RB were actually warning Tsunoda about a loos🌳e mirror which had fallen off Alex Albon’s Williams during Sunday’s chaotic race at the Lusa𝓀il International Circuit.

The mirror was hit by Sauber♋’s Valtteri Bottas, causing it to shatter and spread debris all over the pit straight.

Ferr♊ari’s Carlos Sainz and Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton both picked up punctures before the Safety Car was deployed shortly aft♑erwards.

When ask⛄ed if he had seen the mirror, Tsunoda said: “Was it mirror? I heard beaver.

“My engineers said: 'There's a beaver.' But why♏ is there a beaver in the Middle East?﷽ Like how is it possible a beaver is in the Middle East?

“But okay, maybe there's a surprise with🉐 global warming - kicking a lot of interesting things in the Earth.”

Red Bul🤪l team principal Christian Horner joked “that is quite a change” when🌳 he was told about Tsunoda’s radio confusion.

Drivers didn’t ‘respect’ yellow flags

Tsunoda claimed some drivers did not “respect” the yellow 🦋flags that were waved after the mirror fell onto the circuit.

McLaren’s Lando Norris was handed a 10-second stop-and-go penalty for faiꦯling to slo💙w for yellow flags, dropping him from second to 10th.

Tsunoda, who finished 13th in Qatar, expects the issue to be raised at the next drivers’ meeting at the seas𝓀on-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

“There was♒ the doubleജ yellow and some cars behind didn't really follow it,” he said.

“So we have to revise that in the next drivers' briefing that some driver does respect it, and some driver doesn't respect it. That's ver𝄹y unfair.”

RB endured a frustrat﷽ing weekend in Qatar as they lost further ground to Alpine and Haas in the battle for sixth place in the constructors’ championship.

The Faenza outfit 🌜lie eighth on 46 points, eight behind Haas and 13 adrift of Alpine heading into next weekend’s Ab💧u Dhabi finale.
