Former Formula 1 driver and Sky Sports analyst Martin Brundle has argued that Red Bull's team radio instructions to Yuki Tsunoda during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix were "bordering on menacing".
The Milton Keynes outfit knew that the moment would come in the season-ending race at Yas Marina Circuit when championship leader Lando Norris would need to pass Tsunoda after a pitstop. With Tsunoda's team-mate Max Verstappen fighting Norris for the championship title, the team told the Japanese driver "you know what to do" over the team radio as the McLaren approached his rear.
