Sebastian Vettel raised the issue of recovery vehicles entering a circuit while Formula 1 cars are still on track just a few days before Pierre Gasly was left shaken after a close call at the Japanese Grand Prix.
That's according to Alex Albon, who was reacting to the incident which happened at Suzuka on Sunday. The tractor came onto the track shortly before the race was red-flagged after the first lap, to remove the wreckage of Carlos Sainz's stricken Ferrari.
Gasly was driving faster than the other drivers as he tried to catch up to the rest of the pack behind the safety car. And in poor visibility from the heavy rain and lots of spray thrown up in the air, he could barely see the recovery vehicle which he came within just a couple of metres of as he flew past.
