Mugello (Italy) (AFP)
Frenchman Pierre Gasly, surprise winner of the Monza Grand Prix a week ago, was forced to retire on the first lap of the unprecedented Grand Prix of Tuscany on the Mugello circuit in Italy.
Starting in 16th position on the grid, the Norman, who hit the back of an Alfa Romeo, obviously that of Kimi Raikkonen, then found himself caught in an accident involving several single-seaters, including Max Verstappen's Red Bull, forced to retire, and Sebastian Vettel's Ferrari, who had to go through the pits to change the front wing.
“I was between Grosjean and Giovinazzi and I couldn't do anything. It's really disappointing. The tests went well. We missed our qualification but we knew why. We thought we could come back. I was confident for go back up, I'm really disappointed. "
Also involved in this accident, the Frenchman Romain Grosjean managed to extricate himself and start again from the gravel pit while the whole of the single-seater peloton was neutralized behind the Safety car.
