Pierre Gasly after the Japanese GP | 09.10.22

We lost Jules already. We all lost an amazing guy, an amazing driver for the reasons that we know. Eight years ago on the same track in the same conditions with a crane. How? How today can we see a crane not even in the gravel but on the race track.... we are still on the track.

I don't understand that. Obviously I got scared. If I lost the car in a similar way as Carlos a lap before... It doesn't matter the speed 100 or 200, I would have just died. Simple as that. I don’t understand. This is disrespectful to Jules and disrespectful to his family. We are all risking our life out there. We are doing the best job in the world. What we asking is to keep us safe, because it is already dangerous enough.

We could have waited one more minute to get all the cars in the pits before putting tractors on track. I am extremely grateful that I am here and tonight I am going to call my family and all of my loved ones and the outcome is the way that it is. I passed two meters to the crane. If I was 2 meters to the left I would have been dead.

I was respecting my delta laptime. I was 9 seconds slower then my delta. This is not fair. I was doing everything correctly. That crane should have not been there. If I would have been dead and crashed into the crane what is the outcome? I don’t think any tractor should be on the race track. They will probably say I’m wrong and probably say its all my mistake what I care about is my colleagues. All of us and that in the future we don’t face this type of situation. If I had aquaplanned like Carlos then I wouldn't be standing there. There would have been another one after Jules.

Image description: Two men stand in a large open space in the desert, with several Howitzer shell casings (cylinders about three feet tall) standing near them. Each man is each holding up a wet piece of clothing to wring it out. They are wearing gas masks, t-shirts, and camouflage trousers. In the background there is a line of portable toilet cubicles.

Buddy just sent this clip of me from Kuwait, on the way home from Fallujah - roughly a year or so after my picking fingers were mangled and damn near blown off in Afghanistan.

It changed the way I played. For the better, in hindsight. I'm light years better than I was back then. I couldn't play chords anymore, well not the way I used to with the limited mobility in my ring and middle fingers and the missing tip of my pinky made certain posturings more painful.

I had to learn how to trace my way through progressions with my fingers which wasn't entirely radical to my style and in conjunction I dropped the pic altogether as a result to fill in the gaps and play in sync or create dissonance or feedback loops in odd time signatures.

Never looked back, and I've became sort of a snob about it looking down on anything other than finger picking aside from technical metal necessities.

"That's how it is now,

Thats how it always be,

I never change,

This is always me."
