Not sure Red Bull & McLaren have standing to appeal. Goes to the ICA & follows the FIA Judicial & Disciplinary Rules (ISC § 15.1.5). JDR § 13.1.1(a) limits appeals to “addressees of [Steward’s] decisions” & those “that have a legal interest to act….” 1/
Both @redbullracing and @McLarenF1 have filed a notice of intention to appeal against the decision to reinstate @PierreGASLY. It's a first step and buys time as they try to get their P3 and P4 back: crash.net/f1/news/1097670/1/…

Considering the barbarity of ICE & the trouble Yuki had with them last year, I actually think it’s terribly important that his journey be documented to make sure they don’t fucking disappear him.

Ok, looking at this I guess I now get it re: why Res Bull chose Lawson over Tsunoda.
Comparing them head to head, it is pretty obvious.
Undeniable, really.
Liam is much, much whiter than Yuki.

Putting everything else aside, I don’t think I’ve seen an F1 driver suggest that one of their competitors doesn’t belong in F1 (maybe aside from stuff about dangerous rookies like Mazepin). He’s talking shit about Tsunoda’s career & talent, which is quite a line to cross. Odd.

Bearman expected Tsunoda to take the line Bearman took when Sainz passed him on lap 2.
Tsunoda, not wishing to be overtaken, took a different line—similar to but more effective than Antonelli’s—& successfully defended.
Doing so was, clearly, a war crime.

If Yuki Tsunoda had a single radio message this season that was anything like the shit coming out of Max’s mouth today he’d be tarred, feathered, and run out of F1 on a rail.

Tsunoda is being so hard on himself, but he’s so close. It’s only been three weeks. Look at how Sainz & Hamilton have been struggling to adapt to new cars with much wider operating windows. Realistically, Yuki is right on schedule—probably a bit ahead—and doing great.
🗣️| More from Yuki after the Quali:
"It's really frustrating. When I try to push harder, there are a lot of snaps that I can't predict. It's really hard to know where the limits are."
"In Q3, where it all depends on the race, I was able to push to the limit in VCARB and squeeze out a little bit of time. But now I just can't find the limit and I just can't put the laps together."
"I don't want to say I'm struggling at this stage, because it's only the third race, not 10 or 20 races, but it's hard to put a lap together right now. It's just a general feeling of unpredictability."

This confirms that Bearman is wrong. Weird corner complex with a right feeding into a left turn, a short flat bit, & then another left turn. Tsunoda turned left for L1 & then turned more sharply left at L2 to defend. All left—no change of direction. #USGP
Happy to discuss this—& it’s hard to assess absent Tsunoda’s onboard camera showing his wheel—but it looks like Yuki didn’t change directions defending vs Bearman. He was turning one direction, then made the angle more aggressive—but in the same direction the whole way. #USGP

Lawson knows his VCARB seat is safest if Hadjar goes to Red Bull (notwithstanding Linblad’s Monza misadventures). The fewer chances Tsunoda has, the better Liam’s prospects become. But I’m sure that’s not why he drove into Yuki—right? #ItalianGP

FYI, Tsunoda was not *remotely* at fault for that l collision. Lawson tried to overtake on the outside of the chicane’s first corner. But his wheels weren’t even at Yuki’s mirror, let alone ahead at the apex. Not entitled to room. Entirely Liam’s fault. Eli Cash coded. #ItalianGP

New narrative: Tsunoda’s insane dedication & perseverance. He knew he’d be getting a more difficult car by stepping up, but not like this. The car is fucked, requiring constant mid-turn micro-adjustments to be slightly competitive.
But Yuki is indefatigable. Never stops trying.

Wish Horner’s tone didn’t always intimate that Tsunoda underwhelmed.

FWIW, Red Bull put Tsunoda’s sprint setup on Max’s car for Quali bc the team underestimated Yuki—at great cost to Max. Woody was on the radio all sprint long telling Yuki where to improve, etc. ORBR thought the issue was Yuki. Max showed that the limit was the setup. #BrazilianGP

More seriously, this elucidates the source of Bearman’s frustration. He was expecting Tsunoda to take the same line he had on this previous lap. But the thing about racing is: you can take different lines on different laps. Ollie forgot that & got spooked when Yuki shut him down.

The interesting thing about this is how Tsunoda’s fastest sector times are all in different runs. He’s plainly still learning the car. Given that he’s had all of 2.5 hours to drive it before quali today, I think this is still a good result for Yuki. #JapaneseGP

Other than the Stroll collision, none of it was his fault. You saw how bad the car & setup he had was when Verstappen used it in Quali—so bad that they completely turned Max’s car upside down. But somehow, Tsunoda will be blamed for this too.
Meanwhile, Yuki will keep pushing.
I honestly think, this was the most painful weekend for Yuki in his career. Nothing worked, and everything that could go wrong did go wrong. On to Vegas. #YT22 #brazilGP
