Lance Stroll addresses relationship with trainer after angry shoving incident
Henry Howe was💯 pushed in the Aston Martin garage by𒉰 the driver who was reeling from a fourth consecutive Q1 elimination at the F1 Qatar Grand Prix.
The incident sparked condemnation throughout the p⛎addock and led Nico Rosberg to say that Stroll is a “weakness” for Astonꦑ Martin.
“We’re good,” Stroll s🅷aid about Howe. “He’s 🎐a bro.
“We go through the frustration togethꦜer. We ri꧋de together. So, we’re cool.”
Stroll, the son of Aston Martin’s billionaire executive chairman Lawrence Stroll, has visibly struggled with Fernando Alonso as his teamma🌺te this season.
While Alonso has threatened to drive Aston Martin among t𒆙he frontrunners, Stoll has regularly langui🐠shed at the other end of the grid.
Asked if he was 🌃still enjoying F1, Stroll replied: “Yes, for sure.
“I’m just struggling with the car aಞnd just getting to grips with the balance.
“I’m jus🐽t not able toღ extract performance from it right now, which is difficult and frustrating.
“We’re in a rut and it’s not getting better. Frustration is in the whole group right now. We want to do better, we𒁃 want to get better. But it’s just a struggle right now.
“I feel like I can’t reallyꦿ lean on the car and drive it with confidence without mishaps and understeer. And [there is a] balance that I really don’t particularly enjoy driving.”
Stroll believes Alonso has a “📖particular driving style, the way he gets around the corners that might be very different to mi♋ne”.
He added: “At the beginning of the year, the car was kind of💫 giving a bigger window for different driving styles to w🍰ork.
"And right now it has a lot of limitations 🌳I don’t like, that he drives around and deals with it. It does♒n’t bother him as much.”
Stroll finished the sprint race at the Qatar Grand Prix 15th - thౠe last ꧟of the cars who completed the race.
