Tsunoda picked👍 up two more points for AlphaTaurꦫi, who continued to close in on Williams for seventh in the constructors’ championship.

However, it wasn’t an enti🏅rely smooth race for the Japanese d♔river.

Tsunoda went off at Turn 10 during the first stint🌃 of the race, losing crucial ground.

“Yeah that was a big mistak🦂e,” Tsunoda said. “So yeah it was a bit sca▨ry I actually, I shit my pants. Luckily I didn’t expect a DNF.”

Tsunoda felt without the off - and some technical gremlins late on - 🍌he could have beaten Lewis Hamilton to eighth.

“Yeah it was good,” Tsunoda reflected. “Unfortunate for Daniel at the end, his pace was really good. I think also he changed a bit of setup and I 🌼think we got good data, he was quite fast.

“So ye🥂ah, I think it was really good overall from the team. I struggled in the end with a reliability issue, but luckily we were able to bring the car home.

“I don’t know 𝄹about Pierre, bu💞t Lewis quite [a] high chance.”
