Franz Tost would like new measures to be taken in terms of safety following the accident Jules Bianchi who succumbed to his injuries on July 18 following his accident at the 2014 Japanese GP where he hit a crane which was evacuating Adrian Sutil's Sauber C33.

The FIA quickly reacted by establishing the system of “ virtual safety car » forcing drivers to reduce their speed significantly in a dangerous area. But these measures are not enough for the Team Principal of Toro Rosso who fears a new tragedy.

“Intervention vehicles are always a problem. A car can still go off the track if it suffers a broken suspension or a puncture, virtual safety car or not. There will always be a risk of serious injury, even with an impact at low speed, with this type of vehicle », warned Franz Tost in Auto Bild.
