The Aston Martin driver overtook🗹 Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz after passing double waved yellow flags following Alex Albon’s crash that eve💛ntually red-flagged the session. 

Stroll admitted to t꧒he stewards he had his “head down” looking at his dash and was focusing on Sainz’s Ferrari and did not see the yellow flags. 

T💖he Canadian has also been given three penalty points ꩲfor the infringement. 

“The Stewards heard from the driver of Car ​18 (Lance Stroll), team representative and review﷽ed positioning/marshalling system data, video, telemetry, and in-car video evidence,” the stewards noted. 

“Double yellow flags were waved at Marshal Post 12.9 as Car 18 ap𝐆proached that point along the straight. After passing the flags, which were clearly visible on the🎉 onboard video from Car 18, Car 18 overtook Car 55.

“The driver of Car 18 stated he had his “head down” looking at his dash and was concentrating on the Ferrari ahead of him 🍸and missed the flags. Although there were no yellow light panels displayed, the regulations are clear that the flags and light panels have the same meaning.

“♐According🦹ly the standard penalty guidelines have been applied as to penalty.”
