Crazy car to drive, amazing finish,\u201d Gannon said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Stroll replied: \u201cYeah \u2018crazy\u2019 is an understatement, I mean it\u2019s the worst piece of sh** I have ever driven in my life to be honest. But it\u2019s ok. 7th.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Speaking on the Sky Deutschland Backstage Pitlane podcast, Schumacher criticised Stroll for his reaction.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cWe are often criticised for being too harsh on him, and maybe we are sometimes,\u201d Schumacher said. \u201cBut you could see: In these [Silverstone] conditions, you have to be able to drive a car. And he can, fundamentally. How good, how bad \u2013 that\u2019s a bit difficult to say. Alongside Fernando Alonso, who may be of a certain age but is still doing a good job. So, big compliments to the whole team.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI have to say, this statement is very disappointing, and quite honestly, it\u2019s a question of manners. You have to imagine the external impact. The mechanics who work there day in, day out so that the two can race \u2013 and then the boss\u2019s son comes along and says: \u2018Wonderful, and with such a crappy car.\u2019 I have to say, that\u2019s completely unacceptable, that\u2019s an absolute no-go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schumacher calls on Stroll to apologise<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It was still a strong weekend for Stroll, who is ahead of Alonso in the drivers\u2019 standings.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Schumacher believes Stroll should apologise to the Aston Martin team.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI would hope that at the next race he goes and apologises. It\u2019s just a shame, unspeakable, and it indicates a poor upbringing,\u201d Schumacher added.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI don\u2019t know what movie he thinks he is in, but such statements diminish his own results. These are important points, after all. One mustn\u2019t forget: These are also important bonuses for the mechanics and the like.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cAnd when someone then ruins it like that \u2013 quite honestly, you have to say: Grade F, dear Lance \u2013 and apologise to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to our F1 Newsletter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ralf Schumacher has criticised Lance Stroll for his expletive-laden outburst over team radio following the F1 British Grand&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":274320,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4103],"tags":[1837,4199,707,4200,9258,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-274319","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-f1","8":"tag-aston-martin","9":"tag-f1","10":"tag-formula-1","11":"tag-formula1","12":"tag-lance-stroll","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114879092833377421","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274319","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=274319"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274319\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/274320"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=274319"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=274319"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=274319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
