Lance Stroll was “upset” about his early qualifying elimination at the Spanish Grand Prix, it has emerged.
Aston Martin driver Lance Stroll was upset after qualifying at the F1 Spanish Grand Prix, although his subsequent withdrawal was due to an unrelated injury, as confirmed by Crash.net.
Stroll expressed his frustration by damaging equipment and swearing at Aston Martin team members following his disappointing 14th-place qualification in Barcelona, according to BBC Sport.
Despite his outburst, Stroll’s withdrawal from the race on Sunday was attributed to wrist pain, a condition not connected to his behavior in the garage.
Aston Martin spokesperson acknowledged that Stroll was upset with the qualifying result, leading to his decision to sit out the grand prix due to hand and wrist discomfort.

The timeline for Stroll’s recovery is uncertain, raising doubts about his participation in the upcoming Canadian Grand Prix on June 15th.
Aston Martin’s head of trackside engineering, Mike Krack, emphasized Stroll’s resilience and commitment to racing despite his recent setback, highlighting the racer’s determination to compete while managing his physical pain.
