Watch F1 star Lance Stroll ‘SHOVE Aston Martin employee’ and give X-rated seven-word interview after qualifying flop
LANCE STROLL shoved his own physio in a fit of rage after another terrible performance for Aston Martin.
The Canadian, whose billionaire father owns the team, was eliminated from qualifying at the first hurdle, continuing his dreadful run of form.
The 24-year-old had already faced questions about his future in F1, with rumours rife that he was getting fed up with this sport.
Petulant Stroll stropped and appeared to push his osteopath and performance coach, Henry Howe, through a wall at the rear of the team’s garage after qualifying for the Qatar GP.
He then swore in a TV interview, uttering a total of seven words when faced with three questions about his latest horror show.
Firstly asked what his emotions were, Stroll said: “Yeah s***.”
The interviewer apologised for the language and quizzed him on what he thought was not clicking behind the wheel.
Stroll provided another blunt answer with: “I don’t know.”
He was then asked how the mindset would change for the weekend, abruptly replying: “Keep driving,” before storming off.
Stroll has been a total disappointment this season, scoring just 47 of the team’s 221 points.
He has failed to be on the podium while team-mate Fernando Alonso has been on seven occasions.

Stroll’s P17 qualifying result at the Losail Circuit in Doha is the latest in a string of poor pre-race performances.
His latest showing means he has now failed to get his car above P10 in each of the last seven races.
In contrast, Alonso will start in P4 after McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri saw their lap times deleted to plummet them down the grid to P10 and P6 respectively for Sunday’s race.
Max Verstappen, who can win the drivers championship in tomorrow’s sprint race, scored pole and is joined on the front row of the grid by Mercedes star George Russell.
Lewis Hamilton is sharing the second row with old nemesis Alonso after coming in third.
