“During the safety car I nearly ran over a marshal. They were running back across the track as I was coming out of the pits. I had to brake — they were very lucky I avoided them,” he said. “They’re usually very good but it is safety at the end of the day and that is what is important for the marshals and drivers.”
“After this incident I’m just very happy with the outcome of my day,” he added on Twitter. “That we all can go back home safe and sound with our families. For the safety of the marshals I hope it never happens again!”
