F1 world champion Nico Rosberg has branded Lance Stroll as Aston Martin\u2019s \u201cweakness\u201d as he criticised his\u00a0behaviour at the Qatar Grand Prix.\u00a0
Stroll will start Sunday’s grand prix at the Losail circuit from 17th after being dumped out of Q1 during Friday qualifying, while he will line up only 16th for Saturday’s sprint race.
The Canadian made headlines for his furious response to his latest Q1 elimination, as he appeared to push his trainer after he got out of the car.“Aston Martin’s weakness there is obviously Lance, that he’s not been picking up any points, or not many, in the last part of the season,” Rosberg told Sky.The 2016 world champion also condemned Stroll’s angry outburst on Friday, which was followed by a very short interview in which he gave a six-word response to three questions.
“If it was any other driver he’d be out for next year, with the way it’s going at the moment,” Rosberg said.“But we have to say at the same time that Lance deserves to be there, because he, in theory, is quick enough.Mandatory three-stop race could be imposed amid Qatar F1 tyre safety fears “At the beginning of the season he was there or thereabouts with Fernando, who is one of the greatest of all time. So that’s fine, as a number two.
