Lance Stroll’s “antics” criticised by Jenson Button: “Have more respect”
The Aston Martin d♑river reacted to being eliminated in Q1 at the F1 🍸Qatar Grand Prix by pushing his trainer Henry Howe in their garage, an incident which resulted in a formal warning from the FIA.
The pressure on Stroll will only increase at the F1 United States Grand Prix this weekend after he qualified 19th, exiting in Q1 for a fifth consecuꦕtive race.
“For me, the big one is the off-track antics which I have a little bit o🌸f an issue with,” Button told Sky Sports.
“I think as a racing driver you get stressed in certain situations but you need 🦩to cont✤rol that.
“You need to have more respect within the 🙈team and who you wor♋k with.
“And I think he lost that a little bit at the last race. Hopefully, he realises th𓃲at and he’s put it right.”
Button was asked if Stroll’s frustrated shove was comparable to a footballer losing their cool🌜, but the 2009 F1 champion replied: “Not when it’s a human being, no.
“So it’s not, and you know, Mike Krack also said that driveꦯꦛrs need more respect.
“I understand the stress we’re under and the cameras always on a racing driver, b♒ut I thi𝓰nk respect is more needed for the other people you’re working with in the team.
“So, hopefully, he’s realised that. I know it is to𝐆ugh, there’s so much pressure on you and sometimes you can be forgiven fo🔯r the way you act, but other times it’s just not right.
“This is a grown-up sport and we can’t be acting in tha🌱t 🌊manner. But I’m sure he understands that and he sees it now and we can move on.”
