Lance Stroll will receive a grid drop at Formula 1’s United States Grand Prix due to a collision with Esteban Ocon in the Sprint Race in Austin. Stroll attempted an overtake into Turn 1, locking his brakes and ending Ocon’s race. The stewards found Stroll “wholly at fault” for misjudging the braking point and causing the collision. As a result, Stroll will start five positions lower on the grid for the Grand Prix, along with a 10-second time penalty. The incident was part of a chaotic Sprint Race that saw five retirements, including Stroll’s Aston Martin team-mate Fernando Alonso. This adds to a challenging weekend for Aston Martin, which struggled for pace and faced a double DNF in the Sprint.
