F1 | Villeneuve hits hard with Stroll: “He should miss a race”
“The FIA must step up and impose tougher sanctions,” the Canadian stressed
Jacques Villenueve goes down hard on Lance Stroll. In fact, the Canadian would like Lance Stroll to be suspended for one race after the accident he caused in Austin with Fernando Alonso's Alpine.
An accident which fortunately did not cause any physical consequences for the riders, despite the violent impact, but the 1997 world champion hopes that the Federation will intervene with more severe sanctions against those who commit actions like that of Stroll. Let's remember that the Canadian suffered a penalty of (only) five seconds.
"Lance Stroll is expected to be suspended for one race after the incident with Fernando Alonso – wrote Villeneuve, in his post-United States GP comment, in the columns of the Dutch website Formule1.nl – By moving on the straight, you endanger other drivers and perhaps even your life. Because you could cause a serious accident. And that's because you consciously decide to do something like this, not because you're making a mistake. So it's really unacceptable. The FIA needs to step up and issue tougher penalties".
