Stroll picks up post-race penalty for bizarre call

Lance Stroll received a 10-second time penalty after the conclusion of the Austrian Grand Prix for ignoring blue flags. The Canadian had finished 13th on track however his time penalty relegates him behind teammate Sergey Sirotkin into 14th place.

The stewards' statement on the matter included a bizarre detail that the team told him to ignore the blue flag warnings for a lap before letting Sergio Perez, the car behind in this instance, past.

The penalty hardly helps Williams' efforts as they look to turn their disappointing 2018 around.
