Stoffel Vandoorne's lacklustre 2018 season continued in Canada after a lap one puncture completely destroyed the Belgian's race. Vandoorne ran over debris that littered the track after Lance Stroll and Brendon Hartley's crash at turn five.
Vandoorne had an anonymous race to finish 16th, just one position ahead of last of the classified drivers.
“I think we were extremely unlucky from the start today,” he said.
“We had a good launch off the grid, but with the accident that happened there was so much debris to find our way through into Turn Five, and it was impossible to avoid it.
“We had a front-right puncture, and we basically ran out of tyres already before we even really started the race, so it was a difficult day. A big piece of debris went under the car so we were forced to pit on the first lap and then lost a lot of time in the pit-stop as well. Before we even got into the race it was already over.”
