Just as Qin Miao was anticipating Verstappen to pit for a tire change, an accident occurred on the track.
A yellow flag suddenly appeared in the first timing sector.
When the camera cut over, they discovered Yuki Tsunoda's Red Bull car stopped on the concrete edge of the track.
Yuki Tsunoda reported to the team via TR: "There's an issue with the car's tires, they aren't locked tightly!"
Although Tsunoda's stopping position looked like a Matthew entrance, in reality, that entrance was completely sealed off. Therefore, if the issue Tsunoda reported was accurate, the race officials would definitely dispatch a safety car to handle Tsunoda's vehicle.
The Red Bull team was dumbfounded too. Based on telemetry data, Tsunoda's car tires seemed perfectly fine—everything was accurate.
After an urgent check, still finding nothing amiss, the Red Bull team responded via TR: "No issues with the tires, you can continue racing."
