Lance Stroll, from the Aston Martin F1 Team AMR24, had a disappointing qualifying session at the Japanese Grand Prix, leaving team boss Mike Krack perplexed. While Fernando Alonso secured a spot among the top five, Stroll was one of the five drivers who did not advance beyond Q1. This is unexpected for Aston Martin, which has consistently been a top five team. Krack expressed his confusion at the large difference between the two drivers and stated that they will closely examine Stroll’s car to determine the cause. Despite receiving the upgrade package before Alonso, Stroll faced difficulties throughout the weekend and did not have the necessary pace in qualifying. He acknowledged that they need to analyze the situation and make improvements before the race.
