At the Canadian Grand Prix, Yuki Tsunoda and Gabriel Bortoleto are under scrutiny by the FIA following red flag violations during the third practice session at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. The FIA has started an investigation with the possibility of penalties, placing both drivers in a precarious position as the race weekend continues.

Details of the Red Flag Incident and Session Impact

The controversy unfolded 20 minutes into FP3 when Oscar Piastri crashed into the Wall of Champions, causing a red flag and leaving debris scattered on the track. This disruption affected the drivers’ running, with Bortoleto finishing 19th and Tsunoda close behind in 20th, reflecting a difficult session for both.

Potential Consequences and Future Implications

With the formal probe now underway into Tsunoda’s and Bortoleto’s actions during the red flag sequence, sanctions may follow depending on the FIA’s findings. This situation adds tension to the Canadian GP weekend and could influence these drivers’ approach in upcoming sessions, as their compliance with FIA regulations remains under intense examination.
