Lance Stroll’s driving history has been marked by controversial incidents, with his recent clash with Daniel Ricciardo at the Chinese GP bringing his past actions under scrutiny. During the 2017 Malaysian GP, Stroll collided with Sebastian Vettel on the cooldown lap, infuriating the four-time world champion who had just completed a remarkable comeback drive from P20 to P4. Vettel expressed disbelief at Stroll’s reckless maneuver, which sent his car airborne. While it seemed like it was Stroll’s fault, the stewards decided not to penalize him. Stroll’s apparent lack of accountability continued in the Chinese GP, where he crashed into the back of Ricciardo’s car, ending the latter’s hopes of a points finish. The stewards deemed Stroll at fault and handed him a 10-second time penalty, along with two penalty points, bringing his overall tally to seven in the past 12 months. Stroll’s tendency to be involved in on-track controversies raises concerns about his driving style and his ability to maintain composure under pressure.
