In a shocking turn of events at the Monaco Grand Prix, Lance Stroll’s weekend went from bad to worse as he was hit with a second grid penalty. The Aston Martin driver, already penalized on Friday for a collision with Charles Leclerc, now faces a three-place grid drop for impeding Pierre Gasly during qualifying.
The stewards’ statement revealed that Stroll failed to yield to Gasly, who was on a hot lap during Q1, despite being informed of the approaching fast car. Stroll’s miscalculation, assuming only one car needed to pass him, led to Gasly’s lap being compromised, resulting in the significant penalty.
Despite qualifying in 19th place, Stroll is expected to maintain his position due to another driver, Oliver Bearman, serving a 10-place grid penalty for a red flag infringement during practice.
The Monaco Grand Prix continues to be a challenging and eventful weekend for Lance Stroll, with grid penalties overshadowing his performance on the iconic street circuit.
