The FIA have announced the stewards’ verdict as to whether Lance Stroll can compete in the Australian Grand Prix on Sunday.
The FIA has made a decision regarding Lance Stroll’s participation in the Australian Grand Prix on Sunday.
Stroll faced setbacks on Saturday, unable to leave the Aston Martin garage during FP3 and qualifying sessions.
This adds to a series of issues plaguing Adrian Newey’s team.
Despite concerns over the 107 per cent rule, which could have barred Stroll from racing, the stewards allowed him to compete.
Stroll was granted permission due to his F1 experience, the team’s technical issues, and assurances from Aston Martin.
He will start from the back of the grid, in P22, with Max Verstappen behind him after crashing out in Q1.
