Lance Stroll's Aston Martin caused the first red flag of the weekend through no fault his own. A suspension issue ended the Canadian driver's session at the Hungaroring in FP1.
The Silverstone-based team changed various things, including the front wing, the front wing endplate, the nose, the front corner, the floor body, fences and edge, the diffuser, the sidepod inlet, the engine cover, the cooling louvres, the rear suspension, the rear corner, the rear wing, the beam wing and the rear wing endplate.
The issue appeared to stem from the rear suspension, where Aston Martin had introduced small changes to the leg positions and external fairings. Stroll suddenly lost control of the car entering Turn 3 but, fortunately, managed to keep it out of the wall.
