Aston Martin F1 driver Lance Stroll has incurred his second grid penalty of the Monaco GP weekend for impeding Pierre Gasly in qualifying
Aston Martin Formula 1 driver Lance Stroll received a second grid penalty during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend for impeding Pierre Gasly in qualifying. This penalty, a three-place grid drop, was in addition to his earlier one-place penalty for a collision with Charles Leclerc during Friday practice. Despite this, the new incident did not result in any penalty points, thus leaving Stroll with three points on his license. Stroll explained that he was blinded by the sun and mistakenly thought he had let Gasly pass, when in fact it was Lewis Hamilton who he had let by. The stewards accepted his explanation but still imposed a penalty due to insufficient communication from Aston Martin. Stroll’s starting position of 19th in the race is unlikely to be affected, as the penalties he received will be offset by another driver’s larger penalty.
