F1 star 'in a lot of trouble' after putting Monaco Grand Prix rivals in big danger

was slammed by F1 pundits and for a 'dangerous' decision at the . The driver locked up and ploughed into the back of Yuki Tsunoda during the first half of the race, leaving his left-front wheel hanging on by a thread.

Rather than immediately stopping the car, Gasly limped back to the pits and left a trail of debris which, according to Brundle and Kravitz, posed a dangerous risk to the other 19 drivers out on track. Gasly informed his team that he had lost all brakes, and mechanics had to stop the car manually once the Frenchman made it back to the garage.

But Brundle suggested that he should have headed straight down one of the escape roads rather than continuing on. "You are absolutely told to park them straight away," the former F1 racer told Sky Sports. "There's debris everywhere, and this is a big risk for a puncture for the leaders."

Brundle added: "What happened is he lost the tail under braking. He so nearly took his team-mate [Franco Colapinto] out as well. He locked the rear axel, Gasly, and couldn't slow down. He will be in a lot of trouble for that."

Kravitz was in agreement with his fellow Sky Sports pundit, saying: "That was so not on, and so dangerous for everyone else. I think that will be a penalty for Gasly, or Alpine, or both. He should not have continued on."

Tsunoda was caught completely by surprise when he felt Gasly smash into the back of his and then fly through the Nouvelle Chicane. "Is he an idiot?" the Japanese snapped over the team radio. "What is he doing?!"

Despite initial fears that the race would have to be halted in order for marshals to clear the debris, it resumed swiftly after a brief spell under a virtual safety car. Tsunoda continued but Gasly would play no further part as Alpine mechanics wheeled him back into the garage.

It has been a tough year for Alpine thus far. They are yet to make a long-term commitment to either Colapinto or Jack Doohan for the second seat alongside Gasly. And with only seven points on the board prior to lights out in Monaco, they sit ninth in the team standings, one point ahead of Sauber.
