Lance Stroll has called on F1 stewards to investigate Max Verstappen over his driving antics during Miami Grand Prix Sprint qualifying.
At the end of SQ1, Verstappen was slow at the final corner which caused team-mate Yuki Tsunoda to check up and lose time, failing to make the flag by about a second, which left him 18th.
Aston Martin driver Stroll was also eliminated in 16th place, but felt he lost nearly half a second in lap-time because of a slow Verstappen, eventually finishing 0.114s slower than Liam Lawson in 15th place and a SQ2 berth.
Verstappen is currently under investigation for failing to follow the race director's pre-race instruction with regards to delta time.
"We just had traffic the whole way through the lap, Verstappen was just completely in the middle of the track in the last corner," Stroll explained.
"We lost three or four tenths just there and it just costs you lap-time, tenths are going out of the window.
"I hope they investigate it because if we can just all do that and drive on the racing line, it is not so fun for the guys on push laps, but we will see what happens."
