Lance Stroll had a misfire before the Qatar GP.
Formula 1 driver Lance Stroll is in crisis.
Now he also has an FIA investigation on his hands.
This is due to several incidents at the Qatar GP.
Formula 1 driver Lance Stroll has to fear consequences from the world association for his outburst of anger at the Grand Prix in Qatar. 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.
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.
Father the owner of the racing team
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.
The question, however, is: for how much longer? Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, a partner in the Formula 1 team Aston Martin, wants to take over the racing team completely. This rumor is causing a lot of fuel in the paddock and could have far-reaching consequences for the premier class of motorsport.
