Anger from the F1 drivers erupted at the Japanese GP when a recovery crane came on to the track to retrieve Carlos Sainz’s stricken Ferrari after he crashed in heavy rain during the start of the race.
Pierre Gasly said he feared for his life after driving past the crane unsighted while trying to catch up with the F1 pack behind the safety car, having picked up debris from the Sainz crash and needing to pit the lap before. The AlphaTauri driver was given a post-race penalty for speeding under the red flag.
