Lance Stroll says he simply couldn't correct his oversteer in time to prevent a crash with Brendon Hartley at the Canadian Grand Prix. The two collided on lap one at turn five, with Stroll sending Hartley flying up into the wall, with both drivers out on the spot.
“I’m fine," he told BBC Radio 5 Live
“I had a good start, gained a few positions, was side by side with Brendon going into Turn 5.
“The car got loose on me, I corrected it but there was not much room for both of us.
“When I corrected it, we touched and he went into the wall.
“It is not ideal but that is racing.”
