F1 drivers are furious and outraged

anger. loose the temper. can not understand. fear. These are some of the emotions that F1 drivers have experienced. Japanese F1 GP Last Sunday, “Never Happen Again”. Members of the grid were upset by the departure of the crane that had to tow Carlos Sainz’s accident car at the Japanese Grand Prix. A situation in which a vehicle, no matter how slow, may go against the machine. It had already happened at the same Suzuka track in 2014, claiming the life of Jules Bianchi. Make it clear that you want to raise race direction Don’t repeat the same mistakes.

The FIA ​​has already launched an investigation into what happened and at this time, instead of waiting for the car to stop in the pit lane due to a red flag, the crane entered the asphalt with the car still rolling. I’m looking into why. So far we only know that the crane entered with the car after the ‘safety car’. He rode alone and rejoined the queue after a ‘safety’, with the exception of Pierre Gasly, who pitted at that moment to change tires. On that attempt, Gasly was too fast in front of the crane at around 200 km/h. At that moment, on the asphalt, he is horrified to see two operators hooking the car to the crane. One of them, he was caught on camera in Sainz’s car, jumping out of the way as Pierre passed by. Both could be involved in a serious accident if one of his single-seaters lost control. This can occur entirely due to the amount of water on the asphalt.

Gasly must have driven slowly because he knew a car had crashed there, having passed by it on the previous lap. He was horrified and revealed that he could have died. It was fast, but the tow truck wasn’t supposed to be there.

From Gasly’s in-vehicle images, it’s clear that with zero visibility, he couldn’t see the tow truck until his car was very close. Hence the tremendous horror taken by the French. But even Max Verstappen, who was behind the safety car, couldn’t believe his eyes. I decided to circumvent the problem by stepping on At that moment, Leclerc was hallucinating: “What the hell is Crane doing there?” I remembered and said,

The pilot’s remarks afterward were powerful. First, midway through the red flag period, “Czech” Perez and Lando Norris complained. “Oh my God, how did this happen!? I lost my life in this situation many years ago. I risked my life, especially in a situation like this. I want to race. But this… unacceptable.

“How can I make it clear that I don’t want to see a tow truck on the track? I lost Jules because of that mistake. What happened today is totally unacceptable!!!This will be the last time I see a tow truck.” “Truck!” Perez pointed out.

“If the pilots can’t see anything, you’re telling fate whatever you do on a day like today, because the 18 pilots behind me know I’m out of line. Because I don’t even look like I’ve ever seen you standing in the middle, I was just so lucky I had a clue and they didn’t hit me. I hope they make the right decision,” Carlos Sainz commented on “DAZN.”

“I passed two meters from that crane. If I had wanted to go two meters to the left, I would be dead now,” Gasly told Sky. “Respect Memory” by Jules Bianchi.

And after the race Alonso stressed that it was something the drivers would have to talk to the FIA ​​about and something would happen in Austin. , with the Jules (Bianchi) accident, the whole system changed a little bit to make sure it doesn’t happen again.And today I saw a crane on the track”..with or without the safety car, yellow flag, red flag. The track’s cranes must only come out when the cars are in the pitlane or when the race is incapacitated. So we will try to help the FIA ​​and try to understand how it happened and who gave the orders, but right now it is difficult to give an opinion.”

The truth is that it is an alternative to the controversial Michael Massi, Eduardo Freitas and Niels Viticdespite its experience in other series, has been criticized by many for its slow decision-making in many accidents this year. Monza GPit took too long to announce the ‘safety car’ period, and ultimately there was not enough time for the race to finish properly.
