The qualifying session had already been exceptional, with a slew of cars going off the track. While we expected to witness the same spectacle in the race, Lance Stroll did even better; an exit from the two-stage formation lap.
Call him Mister Lance Stroll
A year ago almost to the day, Charles Leclerc blocked the security wall at Interlagos on the formation lap. But the Monegasque would never have thought that this feat would be imitated the following year. And for that, who other than another French speaker to return the favor? Entertainment is ultimate.
Indeed, while the cars had only completed a few turns, Lance Stroll lost control of his car and hit the wall with his front wing. Well, until then, loss is beautiful, but not eternal. She will be a few seconds later. Wanting to get back on track, the Canadian has no better idea than to cross the gravel trap. Result (expected); he finds himself permanently blocked. Red flag. Absolutely delicious.
From all angles.
