F1 Aston Martin: Mike Krack thinks Stroll’s penalty is too big: “Too quick and too difficult a decision”

According to Aston Martin team boss Mike Krack, the cause of the crash between Lance Stroll and Daniel Ricciardo during the Chinese Grand Prix is ​​at the front of the field. Krack believes that there was a backlash that actually made Stroll a victim as well.

The safety car was deployed twice during the Chinese Grand Prix. Ricciardo was lining up to restart the race in the final neutral phase, but the fourteenth Stroll crashed into the back of the ‘Racing Bull’. The rear tires of the car went into the air and the damage was also extensive. A few laps later, Ricciardo was forced to abandon the race and Stroll pointed to the others afterwards. It can count on the great frustration from ‘Danny Ric’ who said that if Stroll did not understand this, no one could help him, and words of necessity were also used.

A chain reaction

The Aston Martin team boss has also reviewed the incident and is recovering Motorsport.com came to the conclusion that this was just a chain reaction. “A very quick decision today without understanding it … I thought it was a very quick decision and very difficult, very quick. I think in the end it was a chain reaction. You saw Fernando (Alonso) blocking with another car behind and I think everyone was a bit stuck .” Krack would like to see the FIA ​​take more time to look at the whole situation, instead of just pulling Ricciardo and Stroll. “I would like to see this looked at in more detail. We tried to discuss it, but the decision was too quick that Lance was to blame. And he was given a 10-second penalty, on the damage to the front wing.”

Leader of the match

So Krack is looking for the cause of the accident with the leader, which in this case was Max Verstappen. “These situations come forward. Now you can always say you should be more careful. But on the other hand, if you are too careful and you restart and you lose more than the length of the car – then everyone says” you are sleeping ‘” According to Krack, this is part of the race: “These are uncertain movements that happen during safety car restarts and we have a few every year and it will remain so.”
