F1 driver suffered ‘really, really scary’ debris hit at Grand Prix
|(CNN)Toro Rosso driver Pierre Gasly has revealed his helmet was struck by a piece of flying debris from the back of Daniel Ricciardo’s car on the opening lap of Sunday’s Russian Grand Prix.
The Frenchman, 22, was closely following the Australian’s Red Bull, which suffered a damaged front wing on Turn 2, leaving Gasly terrified.
“I think Daniel lost a piece of carbon that went straight into my visor,” Gasly said. “This was really, really scary because I thought it was going through and straight in my eye.
