Former F1 world champion Jacques Villeneuve has called for stronger action against Lance Stroll following his “life-threatening manoeuvre” at the Brazilian Grand Prix.
During Saturday's sprint race in Sao Paulo, Stroll's Aston Martin teammate Sebastian Vettel tried to overtake him on the approach to Turn 4, only for the Canadian to make a last gasp dash to his left to block the move. It forced Vettel onto the grass, and sparks flew from his car as he was pushed dangerously close to the barrier.
The FIA sanctioned Stroll for his actions, handing him a 10-second time penalty and three penalty points on his super licence. It came just a race after he was involved in a racing incident with Pierre Gasly in Mexico, but on that occasion it was the Frenchman deemed at fault.
