Yuki Tsunoda's U.S. Entry Delayed by Officials

Japanese Formula One driver Yuki Tsunoda faced a challenging entry to the United States as he was held by immigration officials for up to three hours despite having the correct paperwork and visas. Tsunoda, who was traveling to the Las Vegas Grand Prix, was interrogated while wearing pyjamas, which he speculated might have contributed to the skepticism about his identity as an F1 driver. During the interview, he was denied the opportunity to contact his team or travel companion for support, which increased his anxiety about potentially being sent back home. Despite these difficulties, Tsunoda was eventually allowed entry after extensive discussions. He expressed relief and highlighted the unusual nature of the incident, given his prior smooth entries into the U.S. for races earlier in the year. The Las Vegas Grand Prix is scheduled to start at 06:00 GMT on Sunday.
