Sanction to Gasly after the dangerous crane situation in Japan

Pierre Gasley starred with the FIA ​​a very dangerous image in Japanese F1 GP 2022. After Sainz’s accident, under heavy rain and with no visibility, despite the fact that the FIA ​​showed a red flag, the pilot tried to rejoin the tail of the ‘Safety Car’ as soon as possible, who was driving at high speed at a time of many dangers on the track Pierre would have done the opposite and in this way he risked a serious accident and also endangered the life of one of the marshals who was tying Carlos’ car to the crane in the middle of the track. In fact, the commissioner in question had to pull away when he saw Pierre speed right past him. As a result, the FIA ​​penalized him with a 20-second penalty (to be added to his Suzuka race time) and two points on his driver’s license.

Pierre, like all the drivers, complained about a serious mistake by the FIA, and that was that under no circumstances should the crane enter at that moment. He had to wait until the cars were in the pit lane to exit the track. That serious mistake, however, did not deter Gasly from his excessive speed, and because of this, the FIA ​​decided to impose a penalty on the Frenchman of 20 “and two points on his driver’s license.

“Car 10 continued, under the red flag period, at speeds in excess of 200 km/h on several occasions, reaching a maximum of 251 km/h,” the FIA ​​said in its official document, making sure the driver admitted to stewards that he was driving “too fast” in a situation where there might be “stewards or obstacles on the track”.
