ge over the team radio. The incident occurred when Tsunoda was overtaken in the pitlane by competitor Zhou Guanyu, prompting Tsunoda to utter an ableist slur. This outburst has not only attracted the attention of the FIA stewards but led to a hefty penalty aimed at reinforcing the sport's commitment to respectful communication.

"During the hearing the driver was very apologetic and explained that because English is not his first language he was unaware until after the session what the meaning of the words used is in the English language. He said that he was horrified when he learned this. He contended that his understanding of the words was different, but acknowledged that this should not be considered as an excuse for what he did.
