Some F1 drivers have defended Gasly for the speeding incident he was penalised for during the Japanese GP. 'Totally supporting Pierre. We are in the car, we know the speed we are doing, we know when we are in control.'
The safety car emerged at the end of the first lap following Carlos Sainz's accident.
The red flag then came out and it was the speed that he continued to carry as he drove back to the pits, while still stunned that he'd see the crane on the track and was explaining the situation to his team, that caught the attention of race control. Gasly was called to see the stewards after the race and was given a 20-second penalty, which had little impact as it dropped him from 17th to 18th place.
"The driver conceded that he now understood that there could have been marshals or obstacles on the track, and admitted that he was too fast."
