Stroll was at least 16th of the 21 who finished.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of grand qualifying, two incidents unfolded in a matter of seconds, as first Alonso was released into the pit-lane path of the Alpine of Franco Colapinto. The unsafe release earned the team a \u20ac5,000 fine.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, the stewards investigated the team releasing Stroll&#8217;s car in an unsafe condition, earning an additional \u20ac7,500 penalty.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lance Stroll will take a grid penalty for his home grand prix in Canada to continue the misery&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":58816,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[17,22339,22342,22340,22343,22341,22338,1817,22336,19531,22337,22335],"class_list":["post-58815","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-canada","tag-canada","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motorsport","tag-racing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58815","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58815"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58815\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58816"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58815"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58815"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58815"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
