Overview

  • Gasly's Alpine sustained significant damage, including a severely compromised front left tyre that remained attached only by a few wires.
  • Despite having no brakes, Gasly continued driving his damaged car to the pit lane, which was later closed due to his car blocking the Williams garage.
  • The F1 stewards determined Gasly was at fault for the incident, citing his overly ambitious overtaking attempt, and issued him a reprimand.
  • Sky Sports pundits and Tsunoda criticized Gasly's actions as dangerous, while Gasly accused Tsunoda of moving under braking, a claim the stewards rejected.
