PIERRE GASLY’S Monaco Grand Prix ended in disaster after a smash that left him without brakes.
The Alpine driver collided with Yuki Tsunoda when coming out of the chicane and his front tyre was left clinging on.
Debris dangerously covered the street circuit and the leaders behind the crash narrowly avoided a puncture.
Rather than head for the nearest emergency exit, Gasly somehow managed to make it to the pit lane.
But his brakes were not working and the Frenchman was unable to stop in front of the Alpine garage.
He shouted down the team radio: “I got no brakes.”

Sky Sports pundit Ted Kravitz said: “Gasly can’t stop. He’s got no brakes. That was so dangerous, so dangerous.”
His colleague Martin Brundle blamed Gasly for the smash, claiming he would be “in a lot of trouble for that”.
He has since been “noted” for the collision and faces an investigation.
Red Bull’s Tsunoda was able to continue the Grand Prix, but he fumed over the team radio: “Is he an idiot? What is he doing?”
