Stroll from the pits in Mexican Grand Prix
Stroll has been trailing since Friday at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez and was unable to get the setup of his AMR23 to his liking. In qualifying on Saturday, he recorded a 17th time, which meant he was stranded in Q1 already.
The Silverstone-based F1 team opted to work on that set-up, but as the parc fermé rules came into force after qualifying, it means Stroll will have to start the race from the pit lane.
