Lance Stroll (Aston Martin F1) was penalized with a three-grid demotion for “lack of awareness” of a collision with Nicholas Latifi in qualifying Q1 of the 2022 F1 Round 3 Australian Grand Prix.
Both were on a cool lap, with Lance Stroll turning the steering to the right and colliding as Lance Stroll tried to move forward again after Nicholas Latifi went ahead.
Both suffered damage to the car, especially Nicholas Latifi.
Both drivers went to see Steward after qualifying and discussed the moment from their point of view. As a result, Lance Stroll was determined to be responsible for the accident and was penalized with a three-grid demotion in the final.
“At the exit of Turn 5, the stroll did not appear to be accelerating and was in the middle of the truck. Latifi decided to accelerate and pass to the right of the stroll. The stroll moved to the right towards the right edge of the track because it was curving to the right. “
“The right front of Stroll and the left rear of Latifi touched, and subsequent damage caused both cars to leave the session.”
“Stuward has determined that Stroll is the main cause of the collision due to lack of situational awareness of Latifi’s transit operations.”
