Dangerous Pierre Gasly Japanese GP near-miss sparks fury from Jules Bianchi's father

Philippe Bianchi has hit out at the FIA after watching Pierre Gasly almost involved in a similar incident to one which killed his son Jules at the Japanese Grand Prix eight years ago.

Jules Bianchi's Marussia crashed into a recovery vehicle at Suzuka in 2014, causing very serious injuries for the driver. Sadly, he died nine months later as a result – he remains the last Formula 1 driver to die in a crash.

That's what made it so scary when, as the latest edition of the Japanese GP was red flagged in the wet weather, Gasly flew past a recovery vehicle which had already made its way onto the track before all the cars had safely passed by.
