Tsunoda had been well-placed to score points in the Monaco Grand Prix last month as he ran ninth with 20 laps to go. But in the final stages of the rain-hit race, he was passed by both McLarens and continued to slip down the order. He eventually finished in 15th as rookie team-mate Nyck de Vries grabbed 12th.
The Japanese racer noticeably struggled with his brakes, voiced his complaints over team radio and ran off the track at Mirabeau as he struggled to manage temperatures. His brakes again caught the attention in Spain last weekend due to the excessive levels of dust they were producing when under heavy load.
