Tsunoda crashes exiting the pits and causes a safety car at the Canadian Grand Prix

Ferrari had radioed Carlos Sainz that they were waiting for a safety car to call the Spaniard into the pits at the Canadian Grand Prix. And lo and behold, it came, thanks to Yuki Tsunoda. The Japanese AlphaTauri driver was coming out of the pit-lane when he went straight through the barrier at the Gilles Villeneuve circuit during Sunday's race.

Apparently, the problem may have been due to the tires still outside the ideal temperature, as Yuki escaped on the speed resumption. The safety car came into action, opening up another possibility of pit stop strategies for the teams.
