Lance Stroll recorded a 13th place finish at the Singapore Grand Prix, this comes after the Canadian driver qualified in 16th place on Saturday. His teammate Sergio Perez recorded a DNF after suffering an oil leak, which forced him to retire from the race.
“The race was full of action but it didn’t really go our way today. I made a good start and we were looking strong," Stroll said.
"But after the Safety Car restart, I made a mistake, got a bit too close to the wall and ended up with a puncture.
"In Singapore, it’s all about keeping it out of the walls so it was hard work after that! We lost a lot of time because we had to pit for a new nose, so it was an unfortunate setback.
"I think we were well placed to score some points today so it’s a real shame. It’s a weekend to put behind us for sure.”
