Lance Stroll makes McLaren drivers quip after setting unwanted F1 record

P1racenews AI automatic summary:


Lance Stroll has responded to earning his own slice of undesirable F1 history…

Lance Stroll humorously remarked that McLaren drivers would have the most Q1 exits in Formula 1 if they raced for a back marker team, as he claimed the record for the most Q1 eliminations in F1 history. Stroll attained this unwanted record during the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix qualifying session by setting a lap time that placed him P16 on the grid, surpassing Kevin Magnussen’s previous record. Stroll, when informed about this by RacingNews365 at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, cheekily mentioned putting McLaren drivers in a slower car for a decade to achieve similar results. Despite struggling with pace in the Aston Martin AMR25, Stroll emphasized the dependence of qualifying success on car performance, pointing out the challenges of slower cars in Q1. Despite the lack of surprise at his qualifying result, Stroll noted a slight improvement in performance by moving up to P16 but acknowledged the need for more speed to be competitive. Comparing the car’s performance with the previous season’s model, Stroll highlighted the difficulties he faced in achieving a similar grid position with the slower AMR25.
