Lance Stroll addresses relationship with trainer after angry shoving incident
Henry Howe was pushed in the Aston Martin g♌arage by the driver who was reeling from a fourth consecutive Q1 elimination at the F1 Qatar Grand Prix.
The incident spar♊ked condemnation throughout the🐻 paddock and led Nico Rosberg to say that Stroll is a “weakness” for Aston Martin.
“We’re goo🐓d,” Stroll said about Howe. “He’s a bro.
“We go through the frustration together. We ride togetꦯher. So, we’re cool.”
Stroll, the son of Aston Martin’s billionaire eꦓxecutive chairman Lawrence Stroll, has visibly struggl💧ed with Fernando Alonso as his teammate this season.
While🍌 Alonso has threatened to drive Aston Martin among the frontrunne♍rs, Stoll has regularly languished at the other end of the grid.
Asked if he was still enjoying F1, Stroll replied: “Yes, for ꧅sure.
“I’m just struggling with the car and just getting to grips🍌 with the balanc𝔍e.
“I’m just not able to extract pe𒁏rformance from it right now, which is difficult and frustrating.
“We’re in a rut and it’s not gettin꧂g better. Frustration is in the whole group right now. We want to do better, we want to get better. But it’s just a struggle right now.
“I feel like I can’t rജeally lean on the car and ﷽drive it with confidence without mishaps and understeer. And [there is a] balance that I really don’t particularly enjoy driving.”
Stroll believes Alonso has a “particular driving style, the wa𓂃y he gets around the corners that m🔯ight be very different to mine”.
He added: “At the beginning of the year, the car was kind of giving a bigger wind🐈ow for different driving styles to work.
"And rigಞht now it has a lot of limitations I don’t like, that he drives around and deals📖 with it. It doesn’t bother him as much.”
Stroll finished the sprint race at the Qatar Grand Prix 15🌌th - the last of the cars who completed the race.
