Stroll gives brief curt interview after Q1 exit
Canadian driver Lance Stroll has been struggling in recent Formula 1 races, failing to make it past the first qualifying session in Italy, Singapore (where he had a significant accident that prevented him from racing), and Japan. In Qatar, he once again dropped out in Q1, while his teammate Fernando Alonso qualified in fourth place. Stroll also appeared to push his performance coach, Henry Howe, after being instructed to walk to the FIA weighing area. In his interview with Formula 1, when asked about his emotions after the early exit, Stroll simply replied, “Yeah, it’s s**.” When asked what is currently not working well with his car, Stroll responded with, “I don’t know,” before stating that his approach is to “keep driving.” These recent poor performances from Stroll have been detrimental to Aston Martin, as they are now under pressure from McLaren for fourth place in the championship, with Stroll only scoring three points in the last seven races.
