In the course of the last Australian Grand Prix he was particularly discussed the driving behavior of Lance Strollespecially in the stages where the Canadian struggled to defend his position on Valtteri Bottas. The Aston Martin driver, in fact, has several times changed direction on the straight of the finish line in order not to be overtaken, with the maneuver that was then sanctioned by the Race Direction with a 5-second penalty. Previously, this time with reversed parts, Stroll had also carried out an attack on the former Mercedes on lap 42, pushing however, the latter almost out of turn 3 with a decisive and aggressive move.
Limited to this last episode, Bottas did not hide his opposition to what happened, commenting on the opponent’s style at the end of the match: “I would say it was on the edge – admitted number 77 – it made me go off track in places and I don’t think it’s ideal. I know he’s one of the most aggressive, but I think that has also penalized him. His weaving made it difficult for me to understand which was the right trajectory to take, and therefore, I repeat, it was a bit on the limit. He also forced me to go off the track – he added – And I don’t think that’s the way you should run but, in the end, I managed to pass it anyway. It cost me some time, for sure, otherwise I could have reached Ocon “. At the end of qualifying, moreover, Stroll had also suffered another penalty of three positions from the starting grid, this time for the accident between him and his compatriot Latifi.
