Stroll to start Australian Grand Prix at the back
'[I’ll] Try and get out tomorrow, I hope, and at least do a few laps in the race and learn a thing or two,' Canadian tells journalists
Formula 1 driver Lance Stroll will start Sunday’s Australian Grand Prix from the back of the grid after not taking part in Saturday’s qualifying.
It follows Stroll not participating in Free Practice 3 earlier in the day due to an engine problem. In an Instagram post, Aston Martin said there was “not enough time to rebuild the car” after the issues in the morning.
Speaking to journalists in the media pen at Albert Park, the Jewish driver said he still hopes to do some racing on Sunday.
“I heard we had some issues this morning, and it was going to be hard to do any laps today. So that’s what was expected before even FP3,” Stroll said. “[I’ll] Try and get out tomorrow, I hope, and at least do a few laps in the race and learn a thing or two.”
Asked if there were any concerns about whether he could race on Sunday, Stroll was blunt. “There’s concerns. We did three laps this weekend, so there’s concerns,” he said.
