I am a passionate and knowledgeable Formula 1 fan who has watched the sport since age five, watching every single race. Having karted competitively throughout my teens, I understand what it takes to be a racing driver, and every aspect of motorsports fascinates me. I am now studying sports journalism at the University of Gloucestershire with the hopes of one day landing a dream role in motorsport. As well as English, I speak Spanish fluently after living there for some time when I was younger.
It's been a difficult day for Lance Stroll. After the Canadian's big crash in qualifying, his team managed to rebuild his car. Stroll beached his car in the gravel on the formation lap, which meant there was an abandoned start. It created a huge amount of confusion among drivers up and down the grid, but the start was eventually delayed. The race will restart at 12:47 local time.
Stroll seemed to lock his brakes and went spinning off the circuit, damaging his front wing. The Canadian, who pirouetted on the tarmac, ended up in the gravel. The start was then abandoned, and teams were allowed to tend to their cars on the grid once again. The start was delayed by 10 minutes.
