F1, Yuki Tsunoda shovels mud into the street in Faenza

Flood drama in Emilia Romagna has prompted the organizers of the Imola Grand Prix to cancel the event, in agreement with the top management of Formula 1. Heavy rains also brought Faenza, home town of the Alpha Tauri team, formerly Toro Rosso and Minardi, to its knees.

The team’s Japanese driver, Yuki Tsunoda, wanted to send a nice message to everyone and took to the streets, along with some members of his team, to lend his help in shoveling the mud formed after the flooding. His gesture, witnessed with a video on Instagram, drew applause from fans and opponents alike.
