The FIA must step in to prevent a Formula 1 driver from being killed in a similar incident to the one involving Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll at the United States Grand Prix, according to Dario Franchitti.
A very scary moment during the race in Austin on Sunday saw Alonso's front right wheel clip the back left of Stroll's Aston Martin while attempting an overtake. The Alpine rode up on the other car at high speed and was sent into a wheelie.
Fortunately, the Spaniard was able to avoid flipping his car, and also prevent it from crashing into a barrier. He even managed to finish the race in seventh place, though he was later given a hefty penalty which took him out of the points places after the stewards deemed his car to have been in a dangerous state following a Haas protest.
