“The FIA ​​Compliance Officer is in discussions with Lance Stroll regarding several incidents in which he may have breached FIA rules, policies and procedures during the Qatar Grand Prix,” the FIA ​​said in a short statement on the matter. Stated.

Due to several events that occurred at Stroll over the weekend, it is unclear which rules the FIA ​​is considering. The first thing he did was push aside a personal trainer who tried to show him the way out of the garage after losing Q1.

He threw the steering wheel as he got out of the car and went to the back of the garage. His post-qualifying interview was widely shared on social media, but he was not seen in a good light as he was speechless and cussed.

Mr. Stroll was not in a good mood at all during the media conference. When asked about his relationship with his coach at the time, he said: “We’re good,” adding: “We’re good. We’re brothers.” It’s cool because we go through their frustrations together and we get through it together. ”

After Sunday’s race, Stroll felt unwell, got out of his car and went straight to the ambulance. He was also one of the riders who suffered from severe fever and dehydration, so he was taken to a medical center where he was released.

He finished 9th on the road, but was demoted to 11th due to a track limit penalty. He seemed even more irritated in the media. “It’s a joke to impose penalties for this,” he told the media. “You don’t understand what F1 is these days.

“What they have us do is impose route restriction penalties, make the route narrower, and tell people not to go over the curb because doing that will destroy their tires.” Route restrictions simply include: We have what you need. We saw people getting fined in Austria this weekend and that needs to be addressed.

“You don’t get an advantage by being 3 millimeters off the track. You do 60 laps in the car at 65-70 degrees and 5-6.5Gs.” That’s the frustrating part. We went all out and felt like we had a good race finishing 9th on the road, but two penalties took us out of the points and dropped us to 11th.

“It’s really disappointing that we didn’t achieve anything,” concluded Stroll, who continues to lag behind teammate Fernando Alonso. Aston Martin, meanwhile, declined to comment on the controversy and the incident, which is being closely investigated by the FIA.
