'I thought I threw away the podium.' Lance Stroll on his rollercoaster ride from seventh to third and back to fourth during the manic end to the F1 Australian GP:
Lance Stroll admits he was “heartbroken” when he thought his trip into the gravel at the late restart in the Formula 1 Australian GP cost him a shot at a podium.Stroll was seventh into the first corner at the chaotic 'third' start, but he jumped up to third as Carlos Sainz tapped Fernando Alonso into a spin while Pierre Gasly and Sergio Perez both went wide.
Having returned to the pits at the back of the field, Stroll was given a reprieve when the FIA opted to return to the original grid order for the final lap behind the safety car.“I was pretty heartbroken at Turn 3 with a couple of laps to go,” he said. “I picked up a front-right lock defending from Carlos, and thought I threw away the podium. That would have been hard to sleep with tonight.”
“I was lucky to even bring it back, to be honest, because you saw [on Saturday] Checo got beached there. We were lucky to get the car back, really.”On the first lap of the original start, Stroll had contact with Charles Leclerc, whose race ended in the gravel trap. But the Ferrari driver didn’t blame his Canadian rival for the incident.
“It was unfortunate for him and lucky for me that I didn't pick up damage or anything. Maybe something, but it felt OK.”
