After the expectation comes the reality. Yuki Tsunoda’s first day actually driving Red Bull's diva-ish RB21 Formula 1 machine, as opposed to piloting an ersatz version of it in a simulator, answered some questions while leaving others hanging.
Very few of those matters outstanding were Tsunoda’s fault, though, owing to the second practice session being punctuated by four red-flag periods. These not only cost him track time in a car whose performance peaks are notoriously difficult to access, they prevented him from performing a qualifying simulation on soft tyres.
