Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll could only partially explain the events that led to his embarrassing retirement from the Formula 1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix at Interlagos.
Treacherous weather conditions characterized the F1 race in Brazil last weekend, with Sunday’s Grand Prix being heavily affected by rain. Aston Martin driver Lance Stroll encountered a mishap on the formation lap, losing control of his car and ending up stuck in the gravel trap. Stroll attributed the incident to what he thought was a brake failure, locking the rear axle and leaving him stranded. Despite efforts by the mechanics to prepare his car post-qualifying crash, Stroll’s race ended prematurely due to the gravel trap incident. Aston Martin Team Principal Mike Krack expressed agreement with Stroll’s brake assessment but emphasized the need for a thorough investigation to understand the full extent of the issue. Additionally, Fernando Alonso faced challenges on the track after a qualifying crash, enduring a tough race and finishing near the back of the pack.
