The Brazilian Grand Prix saw a chaotic turn of events for the Canadian Formula 1 driver Lance Stroll found himself in another crash, adding to an already challenging weekend. Another setback occurred for Stroll just as the race was about to start, with the driver sliding off the track during the formation lap, hitting the wall, then driving through the gravel and throwing his car.

This incident followed a crash earlier in qualifying today, making it a day to forget for Aston Martin driver.

During Q2, Stroll crashed his Aston Martin into the barriers at Turn 3. Coming with just under two minutes left on the clock, this accident caused a pause in the session. The delay in issuing a red flag, intended to allow Stroll to attempt to return to the pits, had other controversial consequences.

inadvertently impeded other competitors, affecting Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen. As the incident unfolded, it effectively nullified Verstappen’s fast lap and prevented him from improving his position, causing him to start much further back on the grid than anticipated.

Verstappen found himself pushed back to 12th after other drivers capitalized on the delay to improve their times. With a five-place engine penalty, the defending world champion had to start the race from 17th position, a significant disadvantage given his typical performances at the front.

Just as the grid was set for action, Lance Stroll’s car, freshly repaired from damage from his earlier crash, got stuck in the gravel. Dubbed an “abandoned start”, this incident prompted a new flurry of activity as the grid was reshuffled. The immediate result was a delay to the start of the race, pushing the event from its scheduled start of 12:30 local time to 12:47.
