Yuki Tsunoda has been handed a three-place grid penalty for obstructing Valtteri Bottas during qualifying for the Styrian Grand Prix.
Tsunoda matched his rookie season's best Saturday performance by finishing eighth, but would start on 11th after a penalty.
F1's TV broadcast showed replays of Bottas passing Tsunaoda inside Turn 4. On the radio shortly thereafter, Bottas complained that Tsunada was a "f------ idiot".
Tsunoda later said that his team only told him that Bottas was coming when he was already in the braking zone. When Bottas arrived, Tsunada was not completely off the racing line.
The stewards' report stated: "Car 22 had just completed a fast lap and there was communication from the team that it was now on an inlap.
"The team did not warn Car 22 to go on the fast lap of Car 77. Car 77 approached Car 22 at the entrance of Turn 4. Car 22 was on the racing line, and when it attempted to leave the racing line outside , he unnecessarily obstructed car 77.
“It is the responsibility of every driver to be aware of fast cars when they are on a slow lap. The team should have helped the driver to become aware of the speeding car, but such a lack of communication with the driver There's no excuse for that."
Tsunoda's penalty left Fernando Alonso eighth, Esteban Ocon ninth and George Russell 10th.
