Aston Martin: People "judge too quickly" amid Stroll incident criticism
During the 2023 campaign, Lance Stroll expressed his frustration by shoving his trainer Henry Howe as he tried to direct him during weigh-in parc ferme. He was subsequently investigated by the FIA and received a written warning for his behavior, emphasizing his responsibilities as a competitor under the FIA Code of Ethics. The FIA stated their zero-tolerance stance against misconduct and condemned any actions that could result in physical harassment. Aston Martin’s team boss, Krack, explained that they are not as concerned about the incident as outsiders because emotions are expected from sportsmen, and reactions are often judged too quickly. The incident drew comparisons to Max Verstappen’s altercation with Esteban Ocon in 2018, but Stroll’s incident was an internal altercation rather than violent behavior towards competitors.
