F1: Tsunoda set for grid penalty at Monza

AlphaTauri driver Yuki Tsunoda has managed to pick up enough reprimands (5) to earn himself a ten-place grid penalty for the Italian Grand Prix.

After Yuki’s rather unusual double stoppage during the Dutch GP, he was handed a non-driving reprimand for driving on track in an unsafe condition.

It’s understood that this was to do with his belts as he was able to return to the pitlane, but his seat belts were looser than they should’ve been.
