Lance Stroll future questioned after Aston Martin jump to his defence
Aston Martin's defence of Lance Stroll in tꦆh✨e wake of his incident under the Safety Car has been questioned.

David Croft has questioned why Aston Martin defended 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lance Stroll after his “rookie erroꦛr” under the Safety Carꦚ at the Chinese Grand Prix.
Stroll ran into the back of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo's RB unღder the🃏 Safety Car in Sunday’s race at the Chinese Grand Prix.
Onboard footage showed that Stroll was🉐 looking in his right mirror, clattering in💫to the rear of Ricciardo’s car.
Stroll was handed a 10-second time penalty for 🥀his actions, although Ricciardo was forced to retire with damage.
After the race, team boss Mike Krack was unhappy wit🦄h how hastily the stew🍸ards decided to hand Stroll a penalty.
Speaking on the latest e𒁏pisode of the Sky F1 podcast, Croft was unhappy with Stroll - and Aston Martin’s - lack of accountability.
“It’s solely his fജault,” Croft said. “I am amazed that the team has come out and tried to defend this one as well.
“It’s like the Fernando Alonso penalty⭕ in Australia where three days later the team comes out and defends Alonso - and you're thinking why are you doing that?
"We’ve passed that discussion ♍now. Why are you waiting so long? Oh yeah, you’re having contract negotiations, you’d like him to sꦬtay.
“This is almost like we’re going to b👍ack Lance because we want him to stay.
"Is there a danger of Lance not being there? I don’t know the answer to that one but I don’t🌞 understand the defence and I don’t understand why Lance can’t put his hands up? That’s the mature thing to say.”

Stroll’s F1 future hasn’t officially been confirmed by Aston Martin, however, given that his father - Lawrence Stroll - owns the team, Stroll will driv♏e for as long as he wants seemingly.
“Why is Lance under pressur𝓡e other than the pressure of driving for a Formula 1 team? It’s pressure itself but if he wants to stay around he stays around surely,” Croft added.
“The team has been built around him and there’s nothing wrong with that whatsoever. If he wants to stay in F1,꧟ he stays in F1,🎀 that’s why his dad has invested so heavily into the facilities there and into the team. He wants his son to be a grand prix winner and to maybe have a chance of winning a world championship. Does he want to stay? I don’t know the answer.
“Sometimes he doesౠn’t look like he wants to be there and sometimes he does. Sometimes🌼 he puts in a traffic performance and sometimes he puts in a rookie error you don’t expect from a guy in eighth season in F1.”
