after taking a tumble in practice at the track.
Di Giannantonio was left angry at the fact he will miss one day of testing and several more of training due to the concussion caused by the gravel, and joked that “if we have to race like this we should go to Monaco where it’s more of a show and the risk would be the same”.Di Giannantonio, who was ninth-fastest on Saturday, said“Every year we complain about the gravel because they are like really big rocks, and when you hit them it’s more painful than when you hit the asphalt.
“I was just sliding on the asphalt and once I hit them [the stones] it was like an explosion. And once my head banged the gravel, I completely disconnected.“If you see my helmet, it’s something completely unbelievable. I’ve never seen anything like this. “For this, I was complaining with my team to ask [for] something [to be done] because for all we talk about the safety of riders, the spray on the kerbs on the lines on the circuits I think has to be a guideline [for riders to keep to track limits].“What I was saying, if we have to race like this we should go to Monaco where it’s more show and the risk would be the same.”
