Pierre Gasly branded Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz ‘extremely dangerous’ after the pair had a close shave in qualifying – which resulted in the Alpine driver calling for an investigation.
Gasly was on a flying lap during qualifying for the Canadian Grand Prix when he almost hit the Ferrari on the final corner and was forced to pull out of his lap attempt.
Gasly was knocked out of qualifying in Q1 and will start 15th on the grid, while Sainz starts in 11th.
“I just think it’s completely unacceptable to be driving the way Carlos did, it’s just as simple as that,” Gasly told Autosport. “Coming at 300, he’s sitting at 30kph in the last chicane just focusing on his own lap.
“But you’re not alone on the racetrack. First of all, I could not even close the lap, which would have put us in a top six quite easily.
“And second of all, it was extremely dangerous, and it was just unnecessary. So I’m just absolutely gutted.”
