In a rut Stroll says he and trainer “all cool “ after F1 garage incident
During the Friday qualifying session for the grand prix, Lance Stroll was eliminated in 17th place, marking his fourth consecutive Q1 exit. After returning to the pits, he threw his steering wheel out of the car and appeared to push his trainer aside. This incident drew criticism online, but Stroll believed it was a reflection of the frustration within the entire Aston Martin team. He stated that they are currently in a rut and struggling to improve. Stroll attributed his difficulties to the balance of the car, which alternates between understeer and snap oversteer, something that his teammate Fernando Alonso can handle better. Despite the disappointment, Stroll confirmed that he still enjoys driving in Formula 1. Stroll was surprised by the reaction to the incident with his trainer and considered posting a message to clarify the situation. The incident occurred because Stroll was directed to immediately go to the FIA garage for weighing, following a recent directive to prevent drivers from taking on excess fluid or using their phones before being weighed. Stroll stated that he and his trainer have resolved any issues and are on good terms. The incident will not be further escalated, despite some calls for action from the FIA.
