“If I hit it, I would be dead right now”. That was Pierre Gasly’s damning assessment of the potential consequences of the FIA allowing a recovery vehicle to be on track during the Japanese Grand Prix.
The AlphaTauri driver was horrified to pass the parked truck while catching up with the safety car pack on the second lap of the race at Suzuka.
It was an incident that enraged drivers and fans alike, which perhaps explains why the FIA initially seemed keen to brush this off with a statement that appeared to put the focus on Gasly’s driving.
Gasly’s reaction - and that of his fellow drivers, clearly had an impact on the FIA, which has launched a ‘thorough review’ into what happened.
