1997 F1 world champion Jacques Villeneuve has been left puzzle🦂d by Lance Stroll’s widely reported outburst following qualifying at the Spanish Grand Prix.

It’s been claimed that Stroll swore at several of his 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aston Martin colleagues and threw his helmet following a frustrating qualifying session🦋 at the Circuit de Barcelon🐼a-Catalunya.

An Aston Martin mechanic downplayed thꦅe incident when addressing a story posted by the BBC on Instagram.

Harry Rush ඣclarified: “Swore ღat team members? Absolutely not true.”

Stroll was forced to withdraw from the grand prix in Barcelona after Aston Martin revealed that his wrist injury had wor🌃sened.

This injury was linked to his cycling accident a🎶head of the 2023 F1 season, which ruled him out of testing.

O🔴n Wednesday, Aston Martin confirmed Stroll’s return for th🐽is weekend’s Canadian GP.

, Villeneuve explained why he didn’t understand Stroll’s frustration given that there’s no pressure to keep his seat at Aston Marton.

“I didn’t see the i🧸ncident, so it’s hard to comment. But where’s the pressure? Why s🀅hould he care? It’s not like his seat is in jeopardy,” he said.

“His father owns the team. But at some point you get frustrated with the💝 team’s current lack of form.So, who knows what happened in Spain.

“There might have been other 💃things that we’re not aware of that have nothing to do with the lap time. That’s very easy to judge. We don’t know what’s going on.

“Lance got a hand injury which meant he couldn’t race in Spain. He broke both wrists a couple of years ago. It sounded like he’s damaged a hand again. But we don’t know. Nobody has the true stories. ꦛIt’s always very dangerous to say, that’s what happened. 🍎We just don’t know. But if you have a wrist injury, then it’s really hard to drive.”

Fan criticism affecting Stroll?

Villeneuve suggeste🥀d tꦉhat fan criticism was potentially the cause of Stroll’s frustration last time out.

Stroll has oft🌼en been criticised for his inverted personality whenꦕ speaking to the media.

His secure posi⛎tion on the grid has♚ also been scrutinised.

His seat is secure at Aston Martin because his father, Lawrence Stroll, owns the t🔥eam.

“There’s no pressure on Lance, but at some point, people’s comments get into your ea𒆙r, and it gets frustrating and annoying and the comments aren’t necessarily very positive,” Villeneuve added.

“So, every human being will start getting affected at 𒐪some point.”
