“I was having a good race until theꦯn. So, I really had massive frustration and actually, it was hard to digest that frustration on that day.
“Normally, Mexico𒊎, you can enjoy.💞 I actually cancelled everything and just stayed in the room. It was a big moment, and it was an opportunity… P5 was definitely possible.”

Tsunoda is confident he’s learned from what happened in Mไexico, conceding he’s been forced to “rethink”.
“I feel first of all gui🦹lty,” he added. “I don't know whether it's a conscious thing or whatever, but I just feel pretty bad if I play around and have a distraction after I have a bad race.
“Maybe it's good, but it will be ܫjust for me. It will be just temporary. I t♌hought about everything - what I can improve in the future.
“It was obviously tough, but it gives me time to rethink. For me, 𒆙it's the thing I normally do if I have a bad race. I only have a party if I💯 have a good race."
