The Canadian driver’s F1 car suffered a radio failure on the opening lap of the Las Vegas GP, meaning his team struggled to interpret warnings he was about to come in for a stop that lasted 20s extra
Lance Stroll's opening pitstop disaster in the Las Vegas GP was caused by his Aston Martin Formula 1 car suffering a radio failure on lap one of the race. The 26-year-old responded to instructions to aid his launch from 18th on the grid, but then could not communicate with his engineer Ben Michell thereafter.
' Team principal Mike Krack said his squad eventually established it could 'manage the race via the pit board' and Stroll's second stop later went off without a hitch. Stroll, who eventually finished 15th, reckoned 'P12, maybe a few positions', would have been possible if not for the radio failure. He continued: 'Because we lost 20 seconds and we finished 10 seconds behind the two drivers in front of us. So, a couple of positions there, but no points on the table.
