Lance Stroll caused the first red flag in qualifying for the Grand Prix. However, it was not the Canadian who ended up in the wall, but Nicholas Latifi. The Williams driver was rammed hard by the 23-year-old son of the team owner of Aston Martin. Stroll did not see Latifi coming at all.

The incident is currently being investigated by race officials, but it is likely that Stroll will receive a grid penalty for his clumsy action at Albert Park. There are currently two minutes left on the clock in Q1, just enough for an out-lap and a flying lap. It promises to be a busy one in the closing stages of Q1.
