F1 News: Yuki Tsunoda Out Of Singapore Grand Prix /

Yuki Tsunoda is out of the Singapore Grand Prix after being forced to retire on the second lap.

The Japanese driver has had a difficult weekend so far after being out-qualified by his teammate Liam Lawson, who is standing in for an injured Daniel Ricciardo and is now out of the race after just two laps.

Tsunoda ran into contact with a Red Bull at the race start before informing the team he had a puncture. Luckily for the rest of the grid, he was able to pull the AT04 off the track at Turn 14 avoiding a red flag on the session.

AlphaTauri will now be relying on Lawson to bring home points for the team, and if he does they will be the first points of the season for the Italian squad. The New Zealander is currently running in twelfth position holding off Perez after starting from tenth.

Tsunoda had a similar fate at the Italian Grand Prix after he was forced to stop on the formation lap.
