Adrian Newey has leapt to the defence of under-fire Aston Martin racer Lance Stroll, claiming the Canadian has a “bad rap” outside of the team.
Stroll has had some high-profile blunders since making his Formula 1 debut in 2017 and has been caught out this weekend at the Monaco Grand Prix – having been forced out of FP1 after pulling into the path of Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari and requiring a gearbox change from the ensuing contact, while receiving a one-place grid drop for good measure.
