In the closing laps of the Spanish Grand Prix, Fernando Alonso overtook Lance Stroll, but almost immediately warned Aston Martin engineers not to attack his partner. After the finish, the Canadian rider commented on Alonso’s actions.
“We respect each other and aim to earn as many points as possible for the team,” Racingnews365 quoted Lance Stroll as saying. – There is a risk of a car crashing in wrestling, and this can be justified when it comes to big points, but there are only two points between sixth and seventh place, so it was more important to finish with two cars and to earn points for the team.
Our guys work hard at the base and deserve the result. They don’t deserve to have their hard work blown to pieces.”
On the first lap of the race, Lance Lewis overtook Hamilton for third, but a few laps later missed out on the seven-time world champion due to declining tire performance. When asked if he has a chance of taking the podium at home in Canada, the Aston Martin driver replied: “I would like to answer yes to that question. When I got into third I thought the podium was possible, but we just didn’t have enough speed.
I was comfortably riding Carlos Sainz’s pace and even pulled away from Lewis a bit, but after five laps the tires lost their effectiveness and Lewis continued to attack. We definitely have to work to come back stronger on track next time.”
