According to the regulations, every driver must participate in the spectator event on Friday. Lance Stroll missed today’s meeting with the public, for which his team received a warning.
Lance told the stewards that he had gone to his doctor at the specified time because he was not feeling well that morning. The stewards sympathized with the driver, but issued a warning.
“The driver stated that during the allotted time to communicate with fans, he was at a doctor’s appointment due to some issues that occurred this morning. This has been confirmed by the team. A team spokesperson explained that they informed the media as soon as possible, but the deadline was very tight.
While the Stewards sympathize with a rider seeking immediate medical attention in the event of health problems, they note that the correct procedure in such a case is to contact the Medical Delegate, who will grant relief from liability for non-attendance at the fan. events.
“Given the circumstances, the stewards believe that a warning to the team for failing to follow due process is appropriate,” the stewards said in a statement.
