Pierre Gasly held talks with F1 chiefs after narrowly avoiding what could have been a fatal collision at the Japanese Grand Prix.
In a chaotic start, race officials deployed a recovery vehicle on to the track while cars were still running after a crash on the first lap. But with visibility poor in the torrential conditions, the Alpine man did not see the yellow truck as he sped past, before venting his anger over team radio.
"God! What the?! What is this tractor?! What is this tractor on track?" the Frenchman shouted to his race engineer. "I passed next to it, This is unacceptable! What has happened? Can't believe this. I could have f****** killed myself."
