In the chaotic qualifying session in Canada,
Max Verstappen, as usual, managed to come out on top. A total of four drivers were moved back three places on the grid. Besides the already mentioned
Carlos Sainz and
Nico Hulkenberg,
Yuki Tsunoda and
Lance Stroll are also three places behind their original qualifying spots.
Stroll and Tsunoda three spots back
Both Stroll and Tsunoda received penalties for unnecessarily hindering other drivers, with
Esteban Ocon hindered significantly by Stroll at turn eight. Aston Martin did inform Stroll of the Frenchman's presence, so according to the
FIA, the Canadian should have known that Ocon was driving behind.
Tsunoda will have to start Sunday's race from 19th place. This also means
Nyck de Vries will start two spots ahead of Tsunoda. For Stroll, the situation is hardly better than for the Japanese driver. He starts 16th place, while his teammate
Fernando Alonso gets to start from the second row.
