It was a big hit for sachafenestraz at Fuji, who was luckily unhurt - but Naoki Yamamoto's driving left him less than impressed. Story includes video: SFormula
Yamamoto was awarded a drive-through penalty for the incident but was still able to continue and finish ninth."I was defending into Turn 1 from Yamamoto, he tried to go around the outside and was on the inside for 'A corner' [Turn 3] and I closed the door, but not by much. And the next thing I know, I was in the wall.
"I’m quite surprised. He’s one of the oldest drivers, the most experienced driver in the field, and he’s been champion three times, so I’m really surprised he made this misjudgement. You don’t expect it from this kind of driver. It’s really weird. "I want to say sorry to Fenestraz and his fans, and also for those supporting me, I'm sorry the race didn't turn out the way we hoped," he said.
"Fortunately I was ok, besides some pain in my lower back and my coccyx," the 22-year-old said."I was really shocked when I saw the replay. I’ve never had this kind of experience at this level, but it is what it is.
