"When are the stewards going to be summoned for having a damn tractor on track?"- Fans react to FIA summoning Pierre Gasly at 2022 F1 Japanese GP

Pierre Gasly has been summoned to the stewards post his encounter with a recovery tractor during the race. The Scuderia AlphaTauri driver was reportedly speeding under a red flag and was not behind a Safety Car when this happened.Lap 1 saw carnage when Ferrari's Carlos Sainz was involved in a heavy crash as he ran off the track. The session was red-flagged and a tractor was deployed to recover his car. Sainz, however, did not find this right and expressed his disappointment with the whole thing. He told the media:&quot;I still don’t know why in these conditions we keep risking having a tractor on-track, because it’s just worthless. If you’re going to red flag it anyway, why risk it?&quot;deni@fiagirlyPierre Gasly isn’t angry because of the crash or the advertising board. He’s angry because he could’ve SERIOUSLY INJURED HIMSELF. Why aren’t commentators talking about this foolishness from race control???61421185Pierre Gasly isn’t angry because of the crash or the advertising board.
