Toro Rosso has been fined €5,000 (£4,300) by FIA race stewards at Suzuka after Sébastien Buemi’s right-front wheel was not properly attached at his sole pit-stop.
The incident in question happened 21 minutes into the race, with Buemi becoming the only retirement when the aforementioned wheel came off his car in The Esses.
Stewards, including 1980 World Champion Alan Jones, labelled the moment an ‘unsafe release from pit-stop, due to error by mechanic’.
