‘Quite scary’ - Pierre Gasly explains botched pit stop as Alpine mechanic hit
Pie🌳rre Gasly accidentally hit one of his Alpine mechanics during a pit stop blunder in China.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pierre Gasly has explained the “quite scary” moment he knocked over one of his Alpine mechanics during a botched pit stop at the F1 Chinese Grand Prix.
During the Frenchman’s first pit stop in Shanghai, Gasly was mistakenly given a green light to leave his box before his right-rear wheel had been properly attached to 💫his car.
As he pulled 💃away, one of his mechanics was sent tumbling to the ground by the tyre.
Alpine confirme🔥d after the race that the mechanic was “OK” and haꦉd avoided injury.
Alpine were fined €10,000 for 🌄the unsafe release after the stewards determined the team were “wholly responsible” for the incident.
“Yeah, quite scary, actually,” Gasly said as he reflected on the p🔯it stop. “The light went green so I dropped the clutch, but then it went red straightaway.
“And then I saw him in the mirro🐎r, and saw the wheel wasn’t on. The mechanic is fine, which I was a bit scared of.
“We’ve had a couple of instances this year w൲here I’ve lost some time on the box, so I’m sure we’ll r๊eview exactly what’s happened and improve it for next time.”
Gasly went on to finish the race in 13th, two places behind168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Esteban Ocon who narrowly missed outꦡ on scoring Alpine’s first points of the season.
Ocon was running Alpine’s upgraded and lighter chassis in China, which Gasly is ﷽due to receive at the 💮next race in Miami.
“It’s just a couple of kilos lighter and then just more aero, more points♑ of downforce all around,” Gasly said of the difference between the two A🎐lpine cars.
“It’s most important thaꦍt is working, we saw that from the first session.
“I was a bit impatient to get it but from Miami onwards I’ll be onꩵ that package.
“And we’ll keep working because I still want more than what we were seeing so wﷺe still need to find more performance.”
