“I didn’t see the incident, so it’s hard📖 to comment. But where’🐼s the pressure? Why should he care? It’s not like his seat is in jeopardy.”

1997 F1 world champion Jacques Villeneuve has been l🥂eft puzzled by Lance Stroll’s widely reported outburst following qualifying at the Spanish Grand 🥀Prix.

It’s been claimed that Stroll swore at several of his 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aston Martin📖 colleagues and threw his helmet following a frustrating qualifying session at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

An Aston Martin mechanic downplaye🦋d the incide♋nt when addressing a story posted by the BBC on Instagram.

Harry Rush clarified: “Swor𒉰e a♑t team members? Absolutely not true.”

Stroll was forced to withdraw from the grand prix in Bar🦩celona after Aston Martin revealed that his wrist injury had woಞrsened.

T🍒his injury was linked to his cycling accident ahead of the 2023 F1 season, which ruled him out of testing.

On Wed🌌nesday, Aston Martin confirmed Stroll’s return for this weekend’s Canadian GP.

, Villeneuve explained why he didn’t understand Stroll’s frustration given that there’s no pressure to keep his seat at Aston Marton.

“I didn’t see the incident,🦹 so it’s hard to comment. But where’s the pressure? Why should he care? It’s not li꧙ke his seat is in jeopardy,” he said.

“His father owns the team. But at some point you get frustrated with the team’s cur🔯rent lack of form.So, who knows what happened in Spain.

“There 𒊎might𒆙 have been other things that we’re not aware of that have nothing to do with the lap time. That’s very easy to judge. We don’t know what’s going on.

“Lance got a hand injury which meant he couldn’t race in Spain. He broke both wrists a couple of years ago. It sounded like he’s damaged a han🧜d again. But we don’t know. Nobody has the true stories. It’s alway💙s very dangerous to say, that’s what happened. We just don’t know. But if you have a wrist injury, then it’s really hard to drive.”

Fan criticism affecting Stroll?

Vilꦛleneuve suggested that fan criticism was potentially the ♒cause of Stroll’s frustration last time out.

St𝓰roll has often been criticised for his inverted personality when speaking to the media.

His secure position on the grid has also been scr🐻utinised.

His seat is secure at Aston Martin because his father, Lawrence Stroll, ow꧂ns the team.

“There’s no pressure on Lance, but at some point, people’s comments get into your ear, and it gets frustrജating and annoying and the comments aren’t necessarily very p🌳ositive,” Villeneuve added.

“So, ev🎐ery human being ✤will start getting affected at some point.”
