An exciting Qualifying session at the 2023 Singapore Grand Prix quickly turned into a nightmare for Aston Martin driver, Lance Stroll, his team, and all the fans in attendance. After a horrible first run, the Canadian was slowly running out of time to make it out of the session. With the track ramping up with each passing second, it was do or die for Stroll. Alas, he put ambition ahead of adhesion, and the result was a pretty gnarly crash.

The impact that Stroll’s AMR23 made with the barriers just out of the final corner was so intense, it took the wheel tethers out! What’s more? His car ricocheted across the track and Stroll’s head was seen violently shaking inside the cockpit after that 150+ MPH crash.

Seeing the state of Stroll’s mangled car was horrible. But the Canadian was promptly sent for a visit to the medical center. Just minutes after that mega impact, Stroll has finally been able to catch up with the media with an all-important health update.

At the post-qualifying show, Stroll was seen in the media pen. He was quoted as revealing, “I’m okay. Everything’s fine. Everything’s okay.”

The pressure was already building up for Stroll as his teammate, Fernando Alonso, true to his form, was already acing it. With just a few seconds to spare, Stroll was ready to give it all up through the final complex of the Marina Bay Circuit. But in reality, he was built up for failure.

Stroll continued, “We just had a very bad out-lap with traffic so no temperature in the tires and I had just no grip out there throughout the whole session and at the end I saw we were going out, pushed in the last corner, tried to make up some time but didn’t work.”

Can Lance Stroll turn his weekend around from the back of the pack with a pacey AMR23 tomorrow at the Singapore Grand Prix?
