In another alarming incident, Lance Stroll was filmed shoving trainer Henry Howe aside after he got out of the car and moved to the rear of the team garage.

Watch the incident below:

Stroll finished 11th in the GP on Sunday and has scored just 47 points from 15 races this season. He is currently 10th in the drivers’ standings, six places behind teammate Fernando Alonso.

After the race Lance Stroll was quoted on Aston Martin’s website saying: “We finished ninth on track today, with track limit penalties demoting us to 11th.”

“It’s disappointing not to take any points away having raced so hard in such physically demanding conditions. The temperatures we faced out there were extreme – more so than any other event – and there are lots of tight corners here so you’re constantly battling the g-forces.”

“There are positives to take away though; the car had more pace today and the team made some good strategy decisions with the regulated tyre constraints.”

“The team in the garage did a great job in such challenging conditions, too.”
