Tsunoda sees himself as a 'sitting duck' for the Monaco Grand Prix

The Japanese driver was unable to reach Q3 again, struggling to find the pace when it mattered the most.

Teammate Max Verstappen will start from fifth on the grid in the Principality, while Tsunoda will be much further back.

"I mean, the pace was there throughout the week," Tsunoda started by saying while speaking in the paddock at Monaco to several media sources, including GPblog.

"The car was better. I mean, in FP3 I didn't have any laps, to be honest, with the softs. But until then, even though I had quite a lot of flat spots with the medium compound, I was running very close with Max, so it was pretty good," continued the Japanese driver.

However, even though there is some positivity for the Red Bull Racing driver with his pace, he is not expecting much in tomorrow's race, even though there are some questions about what might happen with the mandatory two-stop rule.

"I think, to be honest, the position I’m in, you're almost a sitting duck, sitting almost to the car behind. I’ll try to overtake, but obviously, there's always risk as well here, so if I see opportunities, I'll go for it," concluded Tsunoda.
