Aston Martin question F1 stewards after “very quick verdict” for Lance Stroll incident
Aston Martin were u🍰nhappy with how quick the stewards handed Lance Stroll a penalty in China.
Aston Martin team boss Mike Krack has questioned F1’s stewards f🍰or handing L༺ance Stroll a 10-second time penalty for an incident in the Chinese Grand Prix.
Stroll was hit with a 10-second penalty after he drove into the back of RB’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo under the Safety Car.
The contact completely damaged Ricꦍciardo’s rear diffuser, effectively ruining his race, while Stroll was forced into the pit lane for a new front wing.
It also resulted in damage to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri’s McLaren, but he was able to continue.
After the race, Stroll blamed it on a “really odd concertina effect”, with his response leaving 🐼Ricciardo irate.
Krack feels like the stewꦜards acted too hastily in giving Stroll a penalty, blaming it on a “chain reaction”🙈.
“A very, very quick verdict today without really understanding. I thought it was very, very fast and very harsh, very quick decision," Krac🔴k said in China.
“I think it was a chain reaction at t𒉰he end of the day. You saw Fernando locking and another car behind and I think eve🍨rybody was a little bit caught out there.
“I would have liked that this🅘 would have been lookeꦏd at in a little bit more detailed way.
“We tried to discuss it but the verdict was very quickly that Lanceꦬ wa💜s to blame, and he got a 10-second penalty, additional to the front wing damage.”
Krack believes what happened on Lap 27 is s♚imply what can occur under a Safety Car, citing the 2020 Tuscan Grand Prix where a number of cars crashed out during a restaꦐrt at Mugello.
"These situations are 💫created in the front," Krack added. "Now, you can always say, you need to be more careful.
"But on the other hand if you're too careful,💧 and you have the restart and you lose more than one car length - everybody says 'are you aဣsleep?'
"Things like that happen at different tracks. You remember the incident we ⛄had𒁏 in Mugello, where there were a lot of cars involved.
"This is always the erratic movement that hap🐷pens on ಌa safety car restart. And we have some of these every year and it will continue to be."
