Yuki Tsunoda Fined for Offensive Language During Austrian GP Qualifying

The F1 driver issued a public apology after his comments violated the International Sporting Code.

Tsunoda used an ableist slur over team radio, leading to a €40,000 fine.
Half of the fine is suspended, contingent on no repeat offenses this season.
Tsunoda cited language barriers as a factor in his misunderstanding of the term's offensiveness.
The FIA stewards acknowledged his remorse but emphasized the severity of the misconduct.
Tsunoda will start 14th in the upcoming Austrian Grand Prix.
