Daniel Ricciardo criticized Lance Stroll for lack of alertness and focus during the Chinese Grand Prix when Stroll hit him from behind before a safety car restart, causing damage to Ricciardo’s car. Ricciardo retired due to the damage, and Stroll received a 10-second time penalty. Ricciardo believed the penalty was justified as Stroll demonstrated a lack of concentration and failed to react appropriately to the situation.
Stroll, on the other hand, felt the penalty was unfair and blamed the incident on the chain reaction caused by the car ahead braking suddenly. Stroll mentioned the concertina effect and expressed disappointment for the unfortunate outcome of hitting Ricciardo. He believed the incident was a result of the unexpected sudden stop of the car in front, rather than solely his misjudgment.
Both drivers had differing perspectives on the incident, with Ricciardo emphasizing the need for vigilance and readiness, while Stroll argued that external factors contributed to the collision. Despite their differing opinions, the incident resulted in an early end to Ricciardo’s race and a penalty for Stroll.
