"I was so surprised when they [FIA] said no, we will sort out qualifying and leave the racing alone because it's exciting. As drivers we've been extremely vocal that the problem is not only qualifying, it's also racing and we've [GPDA] been warning that this kind of accident was always going to happen."
"Here we were lucky there was an escape road, now imagine going to Baku or going to Singapore or going to Vegas and having this kind of closing speeds and crashes next to the walls. I or we as GPDA, we've warned the FIA these accidents are going to happen a lot with this set of regulations and we need to change something soon if we don't want them to happen. It was 50G I heard, it's higher than my crash in Russia in 2015, I was 46G. Just imagine what kind of crash you could have in Vegas, Baku etc."
"I hope it serves as an example and the teams listen to the drivers and not so much to the teams and people that said the racing was okay because the racing is not okay."
[Q: I was just trying to see exactly what the closing speed was because we were looking at it on camera and you think today might help you guys in your request to the FIA too?]
