Pierre Gasly had every right to feel fortunate just to be leaving Baku in one piece after a new video released on the official Formula 1 website shows him narrowly avoiding disaster with Kevin Magnussen during the Azerbaijan GP on Sunday.
One day after just avoiding smashing into the back of his slow-moving Toro Rosso teammate Brendon Hartley at almost 190mph in qualifying.
The Frenchman was looking to pass the Haas of Magnussen at the first Safety Car restart along the main straight and was partially alongside before the Dane came across and almost pushed him into the wall at around the same speed.
After clearly having to back off, Gasly continued in the slipstream only to be nearly pushed into the wall again further down the straight and could well have found himself in danger a third time had he not eased off from going around the outside at Turn 1.
The stewards noted the incident and gave Magnussen a 10-second time penalty for the collision but the Red Bull junior, who also had two near-misses with the same driver in practice on the same straight, was absolutely furious.
“Kevin is the most dangerous guy I have ever raced with,” Gasly declared. “He literally put me in the wall at 300kph at the restart and completely ruined the race. I would have been in the worst case P10 at the last restart, so this is one thing.
“The Safety Car came out, we pitted and were P11. I knew points were on the table. I was going to pass him just before the Safety Car line 1, went on the inside and he just put me in the wall right in the middle and took half of my floor out.
“Both my front wheels went in the air, broke my right mirror and bent my steering as well. After that, I was just trying to survive until the end of the race."
Known as one of F1's most aggressive racers, Magnussen offered a defence of his actions, which the FIA called "unpredictable and unnecessary".
“I had so many vibrations in the car that the mirrors were useless, I couldn’t see anything at all,” he claimed.
Given the reputation the Haas driver has, Gasly also saw no reason to try and talk with Magnussen.
"He's been always like this. He's been always racing hard," he said.
"I don't mind racing drivers which are hard, but like this is just way over the limit. You don't put someone in the wall at 300kph."
