The main theme of Suzuka Sunday, conditioned by the deluge that hit the Japanese circuit that was back on the calendar for the first time since 2019, was undoubtedly theinconceivable presence of a tractor on the track to remove Carlos Sainz’s car, which had a crash during the first lap, while the other single-seaters were still running. A scene that froze the blood in the veins of many fans and the pilots themselves. The memory of what happened in 2014, right on the Japanese track, to poor Jules Bianchi, is in fact still very much alive in all the insiders. By radio, Pierre Gasly, who found himself parading at high speed right next to the tractor, immediately expressed his anger at what was happening, calling it “unacceptable”.
During the very long red flag regime, other drivers also expressed their thoughts, used Twitter to criticize in a harsh – and absolutely understandable way – the very dangerous lack of safety that occurred allowing the tractor to enter the track while the cars were still moving. Lando Norris he asked himself “how could that happen!? We lost a life in this situation years ago. We risk our lives, especially in conditions like this. We want to run. But this is unacceptable“.
Similar thoughts are those he expressed Sergio Perez, winner in Singapore just seven days ago. The Mexican Red Bull, third at the time of the interruption of the race, wrote: “How can we make it clear that we never want to see a crane on the track? We lost Jules because of that mistake. What happened today is totally unacceptable! I hope this is the last time I see a crane on the track! “. At this point it is easy to imagine that the controversy over what happened at Suzuka will continue in the coming days and that the drivers will join forces to clarify the FIA.absolute need to avoid similar situations in the future.
How can we make it clear that we never want to see a crane on track?
We lost Jules because of that mistake.
What happened today is totally unacceptable !!!!!
I hope this is the last time ever I see a crane on track!
