Attempting to tee up a move on Stroll towards the end of the race at Jeddah into Turn 1, Albon dived down the inside of the Aston Martin driver in a bid to move up to 11th place at the start of the 48th lap.
But Albon, who had not been able to get fully alongside Stroll into the corner, speared into the Canadian driver's sidepod with his right-front tyre then taken off its rim by Stroll's car, leaving the Anglo-Thai driver out of the race.
