Tsunoda started two places ahead dDe Vries but on the first lap the Dutchman got past him as the pair exited Turn 2.
The Japanese driver then had a look down the outside at Turn 3, but on the exit de Vries took his line and clipped his team-mate’s front wing.
While de Vries continued unscathed Tsunoda lost the left side part of the wing and immediately told the team that he had to pit.
However at the first high-speed section he came to – close to where Romain Grosjean famously once crashed his Haas under the safety car – he understeered wide and clipped the wall with the right-hand side of the car. The right rear wheel was shattered, and the tyre subsequently came off.
Tsunoda was told to return to the pits for a tyre change, but he warned the team that he didn't think he could continue as it was such a hard hit.
He got back to the pits safely and after a quick visual inspection he was told "the car is good."
However, as soon as he drove away and with the car crabbing sideways it was evident that the suspension was damaged, completing another lap before retiring.
A clearly frustrated Tsunoda wouldn’t name de Vries when asked by Autosport about the incident.
"I got forced [into] the wall from some driver,” he said. “I had a contact with a driver and I lost a front wing. I just didn't recognise fully that the front wing was fully damaged and as soon I entered [the corner] I had no grip at all at the front."
Asked to confirm who the culprit was he said: “I can’t say here.”
