“I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS…” — Yuki Tsunoda Left SPEECHLESS After FIA Drops Bombshell Findings
The 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix may go down as one of the most controversial finales in Formula 1 history, and today the FIA poured fuel onto an already raging fire. New forensic tests and telemetry reviews from Lando Norris’ McLaren have been released — and the results have left Yuki Tsunoda in total disbelief.
What the FIA revealed has completely rewritten the narrative of the championship showdown.
With the world watching the final race of a nail-biting season, drama erupted on Lap 23.

Lando Norris — fresh out of the pits, pushing on cold tires but maximum ERS deployment — rocketed toward Yuki Tsunoda, whose Red Bull was limping on worn softs. Red Bull’s team radio was brutal and crystal clear:
“Yuki, defend. Max needs this. DEFEND.”
And defend he did.
Tsunoda launched into one of the most aggressive defensive sequences of the season. But as Norris activated DRS and committed to the overtake, Tsunoda made a second sharp move to the left — an action strictly forbidden under the rules.
Norris, milliseconds from wheel-to-wheel disaster, had no choice:
Either collide… or go off the track.
He chose survival — and victory.
Or so it seemed.
THE FIA’S NEW ANALYSIS — A FULL BREAKDOWN
Today, the FIA released the deepest technical analysis ever conducted for a single on-track dispute:
- High-resolution GPS overlays
- Steering angle telemetry
- Brake trace comparisons
- Sidepod airflow mapping
- Wheel speed deltas
- And, crucially… ERS discharge behavior
His steering trace shows a sudden, unnatural flick — a split-second block that left Norris zero safe racing space.
Norris did NOT gain a lasting advantage off-track.
The FIA clarified that his off-track detour was “forced, not elective.”
Rumors of illegal ERS behavior in Norris’ car? Debunked.
A viral claim that McLaren used an unlawful energy recovery spike was shut down. Tests show ERS levels within regulation — although right at the razor-edge limit.
This final detail is what left Tsunoda shaking his head in disbelief.
TSUNODA’S REACTION: “THIS MAKES NO SENSE.”
Yuki, normally fiery, was visibly stunned:
“I cannot believe the decision. Other drivers this year did the same thing and got nothing. Why only me? Why now?”
He accused the FIA of inconsistency — a complaint many drivers have echoed throughout the season.

Lando Norris — World Champion
P2 — Max Verstappen
P3 — Oscar Piastri
But fans, analysts, and even several team principals fear the decision has opened a dangerous precedent:
- Can drivers now force rivals off track if they are “defending”?
- Will future champions be crowned based on inconsistent rulings?
- And why do different teams seem to receive different interpretations of the same rule?
The controversy is FAR from over.

The controversy is FAR from over.
Buried deep within the FIA’s report is a stunning line:
“Further analysis of McLaren’s energy deployment patterns in Q3 is ongoing.”
This single sentence has ignited an inferno of speculation.
Did McLaren operate at the absolute edge of legality?
Did the car pass by rulebook — but fail the spirit of fair play?
Is another protest incoming?

Even Tsunoda himself hinted at unseen irregularities:
“You’ll see. Something is not right.”
THE 2025 SEASON ENDS IN CHAOS — AND 2026 BEGINS IN WAR
Teams are already demanding:
- A rewrite of the defensive driving rules
- Standardized interpretations across stewards
- Tighter ERS monitoring
- Mandatory publishing of telemetry after major incidents
The FIA has promised “multiple regulatory reviews.”
McLaren remains unapologetic.
Red Bull is furious.
Tsunoda feels betrayed.
Norris remains silent — but knew exactly what he was fighting for.
The legacy of this championship is now cemented:
Abu Dhabi 2025 will live forever as one of the most controversial finales in Formula 1 history.
