Lance Stroll endured another disappointing qualifying session in Mexico on Saturday as he was knocked out in Q1. Now, he will start the race from the pit lane after Aston Martin changed a number of parts on his car overnight.
Lance Stroll will start the Mexico City Grand Prix from the pit lane, as confirmed by the FIA. This is the second consecutive race where Stroll will begin from the pit lane. Despite qualifying in 18th place, Stroll was set to start one position higher due to a penalty for Yuki Tsunoda. However, Aston Martin made several component changes overnight, which violated parc fermé conditions. As a result, Stroll has been removed from the starting grid and placed in the pit lane, similar to the previous race in the USA. Aston Martin’s decision in the previous race paid off, as the changes helped Stroll finish in seventh place.
