Stroll’s fury shows his negative F1 spiral is unsustainable
Lance Stroll’s recent performance in qualifying for the Qatar Grand Prix was disappointing, continuing a streak of poor results over the past four races. His reaction to this disappointment seemed particularly extreme, even by his standards of giving brief and uninformative interviews. Stroll has struggled to advance past Q1 since the wet/dry qualifying session at Zandvoort after the summer break, and he hasn’t made it to Q3 since the wet Friday session at Spa. He has had slow qualifying times and crashes in the following races, leading to early retirements. In Qatar, he qualified in 18th place, over a second slower than Fernando Alonso. Stroll’s frustration was evident in his post-session comments, which were short and curt. While his behavior is concerning and lacking emotional control, it is not uncommon for drivers in high-stress situations like Formula 1 to display frustration and anger.
