David Croft has questioned why Aston Martin defended 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lance Stroll after his “rookie error” under the Safety Car at the Chiꩵnes🌠e Grand Prix.

Stroll ran into the back of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo's RB under the Safety Car in Sunday’s race aꦍt th𝄹e Chinese Grand Prix.

Onboard footage showed that Stroll was looking𒁃 in his right mirror, clattering into the rear of Ricciardo’s car.

Stroll wꦕas handed a 10-second time penalty for his actions, although Ri🅺cciardo was forced to retire with damage.

After the race, team boss Mike Krack was unhappy with how has💖tily the stewꦍards decided to hand Stroll a penalty.

Speaking on the latꦡest episode of the Sky F1 podcast, Croft was unhappy with Strol🌳l - and Aston Martin’s - lack of accountability.

“It’s solely his fault,” Croft sಌaid. “I am amazed that the team has come out and tried to defend this one as well.

“It’s like the Fernando Alonso penalty in Australia where three ⛦days later the team comes out and defends Alo𓃲nso - and you're thinking why are you doing that? 

"We’ve passed that discussion now. Why are you waiting so long? O😼h y🌟eah, you’re having contract negotiations, you’d like him to stay.

“This iꦗs almost like we’re going to back Lance because we want him to stay. ꧅;

"Is there a♍ dangeꦏr of Lance not being there? I don’t know the answer to that one but I don’t understand the defence and I don’t understand why Lance can’t put his hands up? That’s the mature thing to say.”

Stroll’s F1 future hasn’t officially been confirmed by Aston Martin, however, given that his father - Lawrence Str🎐oll - owns the team, Stroll will drive for as long as he wants seemi☂ngly.

“Why is Lance under pressure other than th✅e pressure of driving for a Formula 1 team? It’s pressure itself but if he wants to stay around he stays a𒆙round surely,” Croft added.

“The team has been built around him and there’s nothing wrong with that whatsoever. If he wants to stay in F1, he stays in F1, that’s 🙈why his dad has invested so heavily into the facilities there and into the team. He wants his son to be a grand prix winner and to maybe have a chance of winning a world championship. Does he want to stay? I d💦on’t know the answer.

“Sometimes he d🔜oesn’t look like he wants to be there and sometimes he does. Sometimes he puts in a trafไfic performance and sometimes he puts in a rookie error you don’t expect from a guy in eighth season in F1.”
