    Summary

    Yuki Tsunoda, the Japanese driver for RB, encountered a challenging situation upon arriving in the United States for the Las Vegas Grand Prix. He was stopped by U.S. Customs officials, who held him in a separate room for questioning, raising concerns about his eligibility for entry despite possessing the required visas. After several discussions, Tsunoda was ultimately granted entry, expressing relief that the ordeal was not prolonged.

    The incident intensified when he speculated that his casual attire, specifically his choice of pajamas, may have contributed to the officials' suspicions regarding his identity as an F1 driver. This unexpected delay stood in stark contrast to his prior experiences in the U.S., where he faced technical issues in earlier races. As he gears up for the Las Vegas Grand Prix, Tsunoda is hopeful for a much-improved performance this time around.
