Horner saw Red Bull's former F1 drivers ruin Tsunoda's hopes at Monaco

Speaking to GPblog and others, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner explained that Tsunoda simply had no chance to advance further given the track's limitations and his starting position.

Tsunoda's failure to finish higher was, according to Horner, also due to Racing Bulls' well-executed team game. ''We were aware of Racing Bulls playing the team game early, because basically what Liam (Lawson) did ruined Yuki's race. It wasn't just Liam, it was Carlos and Alex and then Antonelli. So the poor guy ran into three cars, all the problem for Yuki was qualifying out of position."

Racing Bulls managed to secure solid double points in Monaco after slowing down the pack to complete both pitstops with a solid buffer. Isack Hadjar scored his best result in F1 and finished in sixth place, while former Red Bull driver Liam Lawson picked up his first points of the season by finishing in eighth. These crucial points mean that Red Bull's Italy-based development team now sit seventh in the constructors on 22 points, four behind sixth-placed Haas.

Not only did Yuki Tsunoda have a disappointing weekend, but his teammate Max Verstappen also faced challenges in Monaco. Despite securing fourth place, Verstappen lacked the pace to truly contend for the win. Lando Norris claimed victory, finishing ahead of Charles Leclerc and Oscar Piastri. With the Spanish Grand Prix coming up next weekend, Verstappen is aiming to close the gap to current championship leader Piastri.
