Lance Stroll shoves personal trainer and gives furious six-word interview

Updated

Lance Stroll pushed his personal trainer in the Aston Martin garage and was visibly furious in his interview following qualifying at the Qatar Grand Prix on Friday.

The Canadian had just been knocked out in Q1 of qualifying and will start Sunday’s grand prix in 17th place.

But as he emerged from his car, the 24-year-old walked to the back of the garage before seeming to shove his personal trainer, Henry Howe, in front of the cameras.

His anger was clear to see and was still visible in his interview afterwards.

Asked about his emotions right now, Aston Martin driver Stroll replied: “Yeah s***!”

Then questioned on what’s not gone right, he said “I don’t know” before ending the interview with “keep driving” when asked about the rest of his weekend.

Sky F1 pundit Naomi Schiff described Stroll’s conduct as “completely inappropriate.”

Stroll, the son of Aston Martin’s fashion billionaire owner Lawrence Stroll, has been blown away by team-mate Fernando Alonso this season.

Alonso, who qualified fourth for Sunday’s race here, has scored 174 points to Stroll’s 47.

He has claimed all of Aston Martin’s seven podiums this year while Stroll has managed only three points from his last seven appearances.

Max Verstappen qualified on pole, with George Russell alongside him on the front row and Lewis Hamilton in third.
