Formula 1 drivers were very shocked by the incident with Pierre Gasly, for which he was fined by the stewards of the Japanese Grand Prix. Even if the AlphaTauri pilot committed a rule violation, the dangerous episode itself occurred due to the fact that there was a tractor on the track that was involved in the evacuation of Carlos Sainz’s broken down car.
Following the race’s finish, the FIA news agency released the following brief statement:
“Although the evacuation of cars in conditions where the safety car is on the track and red flags are displayed is a perfectly normal practice, taking into account the special circumstances, as well as the comments of the riders, the FIA is starting a detailed investigation to the events that took place during the evacuation of cars from the circuit during the Grand Prix.Under Japan.
This is part of the standard practice of investigating all incidents that occur during a race; the aim of this work is to continuously improve existing processes and procedures.”
