Stroll: Italian GP qualifying 'worst session I've ever had'

Lance Stroll believes there was a problem with his Aston Martin "that didn't make sense" in Italian Grand Prix qualifying after his Q1 elimination.

Stroll qualified 20th and slowest of all at Monza having had a disrupted weekend, and not posting a flying lap until Saturday practice.

He stepped out of the AMR23 in Free Practice 1 for Felipe Drugovich to fulfil the requirement for a young driver to drive a practice session, before a fuel system glitch ended his running in the second session in the opening minutes.

Stroll's early elimination

"I didn't do a lap [on Friday], but there was something going on in the car [in qualifying] that didn't make sense," Stroll told media including RacingNews365.

"It was tricky, but I didn't feel any grip in the car.

"In the session, I just couldn't get to grips [with the car] and it is the worst session I've ever had.

"We will [look into what we can do for the race], but it is going to be hard."
