A fiery clash at the pitlane during the F1 Belgian GP qualifying has sparked a war of words between Nico Hulkenberg and Lance Stroll, leaving fans on the edge of their seats.
Hulkenberg, clearly baffled by the incident, labeled it as “peculiar” after a collision with Stroll’s Aston Martin left his Sauber with front wing damage. Both drivers were summoned to the stewards for a post-session investigation.
The German driver expressed his side of the story, claiming he had the right of way when trying to merge into the queue of cars exiting the pits. On the other hand, Stroll shifted blame, stating he was simply following protocol and didn’t feel obliged to yield to Hulkenberg.
As tension continues to rise, race director’s notes shed some light on the situation, outlining the expected behavior of drivers when blending into the fast lane from the pitlane.
With both drivers standing their ground, the debate remains open, intensifying the anticipation for the upcoming race. Hulkenberg, however, remains cautious about his chances for a podium finish, especially on the challenging Spa-Francorchamps circuit.
