FIA formally warns Stroll over F1 Qatar GP garage strop
During last weekend’s Grand Prix qualifying, Lance Stroll got into a physical altercation with his trainer after throwing his steering wheel out of his cockpit. The FIA, the governing body of motorsport, was investigating several incidents involving Stroll that may have violated their rules, policies, and procedures. While the specific incidents were not disclosed, they were likely related to Stroll’s actions at the Losail track, which were deemed to have brought the sport into disrepute. On Friday, the FIA issued a statement confirming that Stroll had apologized and received a written warning, reminding him of his responsibilities as a competitor. Stroll’s behavior falls under the FIA International Sporting Code Article 12.2.1.c, which prohibits any fraudulent conduct or acts prejudicial to the interests of the competition or motorsport in general. In the past, similar incidents have resulted in disciplinary action, such as Max Verstappen’s public service order. Aston Martin, Stroll’s team, downplayed the incident and stated they would address it after allowing some time for reflection.
