Lance Stroll has once again incurred the wrath of a Formula 1 driver. This time it was Valtteri Bottas who was not pleased with the behaviour of the Aston Martin driver at Albert Park. According to the Alfa Romeo driver, it is not neat.
Once again, criticism directed at Stroll
"Yeah, the weaving just made it very hard for me to decide where to go, it was a bit on the limit," Bottas told camera crews present in Melbourne. In the end, the stewards decided to give Stroll a five-second time penalty. On Saturday, he received another grid penalty of three places after a very curious touché with Nicholas Latifi.
In the end, Bottas managed to finish well ahead of Stroll in the Australian Grand Prix, but all did not go without any problems. In another battle with the Canadian, Bottas said he was pushed off the track. "“And yeah that pass, obviously forced me to go off the track, so I don’t think that’s how you should race."
In the end, Bottas crossed the finish line in eighth place, a nice boost after his outing in Saudi Arabia. He is currently on twelve points in the battle for the world championship. Teammate Guanyu Zhou has to make do with one paltry point. The rookie finished P11 just outside the points.
