Stroll's sharp 'score a point' response as Colapinto recants criticism

Stroll and Bortoleto were involved in a lap one crash at the Brazil Grand Prix that provoked the rookie's DNF, to which Colapinto responded in a severe assessment.

Bortoleto attempted tomakeamove on the ourside on Strollas the pair approached Turn 10. The Aston Martin driver squeezed the Sauber rookie,who touched the grass, lost controlof his car and collided with the wall.

In reaction to the crash Colapinto said: “Stroll is always taking people out, just not looking in the mirrors, leaving no track. He put Gabi in the wall, so it's what he does every time."

When confronted with the Alpine driver's comments, Stroll said: "I heard about it. I don't know. Maybe he's frustrated and angry with life.

"I don't know how many points he has in the championship. I can't tell you,"he added,only to continue: "He has zero points. I don't know. He should probably focus on his own things and try to score some points this year."

Stroll then explained how he and Bortoletohad spoken in the aftermath of the clash and concluded that the Canadian was not at fault.

"My advice to him is that he tries to focus on his own thing and maybe score a point this year," Stroll concluded.

Wehn reminded ofhis remarks regarding Stroll's driving, he said: "Yeah. I think you're seeing a heat of the moment after the race. So the incident with Gabi – I was just behind, and I just saw the moment.

A squeeze from Lance Stroll onto the grass caused Bortoleto to spin and retire before completing a lap. Visibly emotional, he called it a tough weekend before revealing his view of his race-ending accident with Stroll. Read his full comments here.
