Red Bull Star Tsunoda Summoned Ahead of Canadian GP as FIA Confirms Disqualification Verdict Issued

Tensions are rising ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix as the FIA confirms two key decisions impacting the grid before the weekend’s action begins at Circuit Gilles‑Villeneuve.

Red Bull’s Yuki Tsunoda Called for Pre-Race Scrutineering

Yuki Tsunoda of Red Bull has been summoned by the FIA for a pre-race car presentation, part of the sport’s routine inspection process. His RB21 will be showcased alongside those of Williams’ Alex Albon and Haas’ Esteban Ocon. The selection is random and forms part of the FIA’s standard checks, aimed at providing greater transparency and technical insight before competitive sessions begin. While weather conditions may force the event indoors, it is not connected to any regulatory breach.

Tsunoda, stepping in for Liam Lawson this season, has endured a difficult run, including a non-points finish in Spain. Red Bull will be hoping the increased spotlight brings a turn in form for the Japanese driver.

Leclerc Cleared After FIA Investigation

Meanwhile, Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc has been cleared by the FIA following an in-depth technical inspection of his car after the Spanish Grand Prix. The review focused on his rear brake assembly, specifically in relation to Article 11.1.2, which prohibits asymmetric brake torque systems.

After thorough examination, the FIA concluded that Leclerc’s setup complied with all regulations, meaning his third-place finish in Spain remains intact. This comes as a relief for Ferrari, who have already endured technical disqualifications earlier in the season—including a costly double DQ in China due to underweight components and plank wear violations.
