Lance Stroll addresses relationship with trainer after angry shoving incident
Henry Howe was pushed in the Aston Martin garage by the driver who was re𒁏eli𒆙ng from a fourth consecutive Q1 elimination at the F1 Qatar Grand Prix.
The incident sparked condemnation throughout the paddock and led Nico Rosberg to say tꦑhat Stroll is a “weakness” for Aston Martin.
“We’🐷re good,” Stroll said about Howe. “He’s a bro.
“We go through the frustration togethe😼r. We ride t🐻ogether. 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 the f🅷rontrunners, Stoll has regularly languished at the other end of the grid.
Asked if he w🐲as still enjoying F1, Stroll replied: “Yes, for sure.
“I’m just struggling with the car and just getting to grips wi💛th th꧃e balance.
“I’m just not able to extract performance🐻 from it right now, whic💛h 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, we want to get better. But it’s just a struggle right now.
“I feel like I can’t really lean on the car and drive itও with confidence without mishaps and understeer. And [there is a] balance that I real🔯ly 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 mไine”.
He added: “At the beginning of the year, the car was kind of giving a bigger window for different dr🔯iving styles to work.
"And right now it has a lot of limitations I don’t li🧸ke, that he drives around and deals with it. It doesn’t bother hiꦗm as much.”
Stroll finished the sprint race at the Qatar Grand Prix 15th - the last of the cars who completed 🧜the race.
