‘Not really an excuse’ - Nico Rosberg has little sympathy for Lance Stroll's F1 track limits struggles
The Aston Martin racer was among several drivers who picked up time penalties for exceeding track limits in Qatar, with Stroll’s penalty costing him a poiꦏnts finish as he was shuffled down the order after crossing the line in P9.
Stroll blamed his struggles on “ridiculous” conditions as drivers battled extreme heat and&nb🅷sp;too꧙k aim at the track limits rules at the high-speed Losail circuit.
But 2016 world champion Rosberg, who had 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:slated Stroll’s behaviour𒁏 and perf♛ormances earlier in the weekend, pointed out that other driಌvers were able to avoid penalties.
“It was a decent race, perhaps, 𒐪for him,” Rosberg told Sky.ꦜ
“But still, it’s an extreme way of stating it - tꦑhat🐠 he says the last 25 laps he was almost passing out on high-speed corners.
“I mean, I believe🎐 him that is just crazy, crazy difficult out there.
“But, nevertheless, all t🌺he other drivers managed to do without penalties – or many of them – especially the best ones out there today.
“So🐓 it’s not really an excuse, I think, to still have so many mistakes to get the penalties that he did.”
The Canadian admitted he had been on the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:verge of passing out at times and re✃vealed he also suffered from blurred vision. 🎶;
The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:FIA has vowed to take action a🌃fter several drivers were forced to seek medical attention after the race, which took place in temperatures in excess of 30 degrees and high humidity.
“Iꦅn my day, we did a test with a doctor with a device,” Rosberg added.
“We did a simulation of a race like that in those te🧜mperatures and it was deemed🌊 that it was not a risk to one’s health.
“Of course, it was an extreme exhaustion. It was extremely difficult. So I wonder, I mean, they would need to analyse it. Certainly, it was borderline. They lost like three kilos, so six pounds of body weight in those one hour and 45 minutes that they were racing. That’s extreme, it’s like 5% of your body weight, which really really is so tou🥀gh and it’s such a torture.
“So that’s somethi🌜ng they’re gonna have t🅷o look at.”
