Lance Stroll has not had the best or highlighted careers in Formula 1. Although he has gained a few fan following, many are aware of the mishaps that come with the Canadian pay driver. He has struggled to make any sort of buzz especially when it comes to his achievements in F1.
The Canadian has done just enough to pass as an F1 driver. However, it was the qualifications when Stroll made headlines against all as a bad light highlighted him.
Stroll has not had one of the best results when it comes to being in Formula 1. However, being a teammate to Fernando Alonso makes it even tougher. While Fernando Alonso passed his Q1 and made it to the next session, Lance Stroll got a P17 and was out of the session.
However, it was the aftermath of it that seemed to have everyone’s attention. Stroll could be seen throwing the steering out of the car after he pulled into the garage.

Lance Stroll walks out of an interview after Q1 frustrations
Lance Stroll’s frustrations could be visible. With a two-time champion who seems to still be going strong in the sport, the stress and being only a second driver has gotten to him. As Alonso builds more pressure around Stroll, it seems he only keeps cracking further. And that is what happened to the Canadian as he was let out of Q1 with a P17 to start for the Sunday race.

When the driver was asked about his frustrations in the interview after post-qualifications, the driver seemed to be irritated. He was asked how he felt about his qualifications and his reply was simple, “It’s shit“.
When he was asked some simple questions about the car and what was not working out for him, the driver just blatantly replied “I don’t know” and “Keep driving“. His frustration was reflected in his rude post-interview and he walked away after giving a quick reply.
