Pierre Gasly wasn't the only person who feared for his life at the Japanese Grand Prix after a marshal came scarily close to being hit.
A first lap crash saw Carlos Sainz smash into a barrier after losing control of his Ferrari. He was uninjured in the crash, but his car was far too heavily damaged to continue. The race was put under double yellows and then a red flag as marshals attended to the Ferrari.
Gasly, who was hit by an advertising board in the incident, pitted and then approached the back of the pack coming within metres of a recovery tractor and also a marshal which caught him completely by surprise.
