Formula 1 driver Lance Stroll loses his temper several times in Qatar. Now the rules enforcers are investigating the Aston Martin driver.
Formula 1 driver Lance Stroll faces consequences for his outburst of anger at the Grand Prix in Qatar World associations fear.
The sports authority official responsible for compliance with rules of conduct is in discussions with the Aston Martin driver about several incidents, the International Automobile Federation FIA said. Stroll allegedly violated several aspects of the rules, it said.
Lost his temper
The Canadian lost his composure during qualifying for the race in Qatar. First he threw his steering wheel out of the car after his early exit, and shortly afterwards he pushed his physiotherapist in front of the camera. During the TV interview, which is mandatory for all drivers, he was in a bad mood, only answered with a few words and then just moved on.
After the main race, in which he slipped out of the points due to a time penalty, Stroll described the track stewards as clueless. The 24-year-old has been in a sporting slump for months and has no chance in the team’s internal duel with veteran Fernando Alonso (42). His replacement at Aston Martin is still considered unlikely because his father Lawrence Stroll is the owner of the racing team.
