Gasly fumes at recovery vehicle during wet Japanese Grand Prix

Frenchman Pierre Gasly raged after driving at speed past a recovery vehicle sent out in heavy rain while the safety car was deployed at Sunday's Formula One Japanese Grand Prix.

"I could have ... killed myself," the AlphaTauri driver said over the team radio. "This is unacceptable! What has happened? Can’t believe this."The 26-year-old, who had hit a sponsorship hoarding dislodged by an opening lap crash for Ferrari's Carlos Sainz, had pitted for a new front wing and was trying to catch up with the rest of the field.

Pictures showed the light panels by the side of the track change to red from yellow just before Gasly drove past the recovery vehicle.Stewards said they would investigate the incident, with Gasly under investigation for speeding under red flag conditions. Bianchi suffered severe head injuries after colliding with a recovery vehicle in the wet, and died in hospital in July the following year.

"I think we need to discuss a tractor on track ... we can keep it short: this must NOT happen, guys," said Austrian former racer Alex Wurz, chairman of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association.
