Struggling Tsunoda alleges Lawson's actions cost him a spot in the points competition

In the 14th race of the 2021 Formula One season, held in Monza for the Italian Grand Prix, Yuki Tsunoda experienced a significant setback. The Red Bull Racing driver collided with Liam Lawson, a New Zealand racing driver who represents Red Bull's sister team, Racing Bulls.

Tsunoda was gaining a second per lap at the time of the collision, but unfortunately, the impact caused substantial damage to his car, slowing him down. He expressed frustration that at the moment of the collision, Lawson was not fighting for points, a fact that Tsunoda believes justifies the need for caution on the track.

In the aftermath of the race, Red Bull Racing emerged victorious, securing a well-deserved win. However, the private message from team principal, Christian Horner, to commentator, Martin Brundle, was revealed only after the team's triumph in Monza. The specific content of Horner's message remains undisclosed.

Meanwhile, the collision has put Tsunoda in a competitive position against his Red Bull Racing teammate. He considers Red Bull Racing's sister team as his biggest competition, and the incident with Lawson has added an unexpected layer to the racing dynamics.

Interestingly, Lewis Hamilton did not compete in the Italian Grand Prix. It is unclear from the context whether his replacement is immediate or in the future. Regardless, Villeneuve, a notable figure in Formula One, has increased pressure on Antonelli, stating that he is replacing Hamilton. However, details about Antonelli's team or role remain scarce.

Tsunoda is still grappling with what to say to Lawson regarding the collision. He believes that there's a line that should not be crossed in racing, and he feels that Lawson crossed that line. Despite the setback, Tsunoda remains focused on his racing career and looks forward to the next race, determined to regain his momentum.
