Lance Stroll’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix came to an early when he crashed into the wall at Turn 22.
Aston Martin Team Principal Mike Krack responded to Lance Stroll’s race-ending crash in Saudi Arabia, attributing it to a minor contact with the barrier. Stroll’s suspension was damaged when he lightly brushed the inside of Turn 22 on lap seven, causing him to crash into the wall. Krack pointed out that this was Stroll’s second mistake at the same corner during the race weekend, highlighting issues with the team’s pace on the Medium compound tires early in the race. Despite the challenges, Stroll’s teammate Fernando Alonso managed to finish in fifth place after surviving a near-collision with the wall in the first sector. Krack emphasized the unforgiving nature of the circuit, where drivers operate dangerously close to the walls at high speeds. He likened Stroll’s incident to a “kiss,” acknowledging the risks involved in racing on such circuits and praising the drivers’ resilience.
