F1 News: Yuki Tsunoda Out Of Italian GP On Formation Lap

Yuki Tsunoda has encountered a power unit failure during the formation lap of the Italian Grand Prix. 

As the drivers drove around to warm up the tyres, the Japanese driver could be seen pulling over on the side of the Monza track. The start of the race has been delayed whilst the AlphaTauri is removed from the track and the team now just rely on Liam Lawson, who is standing in for Daniel Ricciardo, to hopefully bring home some points during the race.

When the race gets going, Carlos Sainz will be starting from pole position followed by Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc who will be starting from second and third position on the grid, respectively. 

This is the second time out of three appearances that Tsunoda has suffered from a DNS (Did Not Start) at the iconic Monza track.
