Tsunoda said: The Japanese driver, who had shown promising pace earlier in the season, was unable to extract performance from the car in the wet, heavily flooded conditions that caught several drivers off-guard in Q1 \u2014 including Lewis Hamilton and Alex Albon, who also dropped out early.<\/p>\n Tsunoda will now start Sunday\u2019s Grand Prix from P19<\/strong>, with Red Bull engineers set to investigate the grip issues ahead of the race.<\/p>\n More updates to follow as the grid prepares for a challenging Las Vegas GP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Red Bull\u2019s Yuki Tsunoda was left frustrated after a difficult qualifying session in Las Vegas, describing the track conditions as\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":39172,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18437","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-formula-1"],"reading_time":"1 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18437","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18437"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18437\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39172"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18437"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18437"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18437"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\u201cIt was very tricky but at the same time I don\u2019t know why but I just struggled with the grip overall.
It was very strange, like ice. I don\u2019t know what has happened specifically but clearly something isn\u2019t working.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
