Lance Stroll was far from impressed with himself after crashing out of the Dutch GP qualifying on Saturday. After returning from a disastrous practice session on Friday, the Aston Martin driver crashed again in Q1, and as a result, Stroll, as frustrated as he could be, reportedly walked out of the interview mid-question.

Stroll, unable to finish the qualifying session, had to sit out on back-to-back days as his return after the summer break turned futile. As he appeared for the post-race interview, he was far from impressed with himself.

Once the interview started, Stroll was asked to speak about his crash. Soon after this, the interviewer asked him about the improvement of performance at Aston Martin and how his teammate, Fernando Alonso, performed on Saturday. As soon as the question ended, Stroll decided to end the interview and walked off mid-session (as per RacingNews365).

Stroll lost control of his car during practice on Friday, and the mechanics at Aston Martin had to work overnight to get the car back on track. However, the AMR25 did not last long as the Canadian driver crashed it again in Q1.

The Canadian driver was out on his first flying lap, and while pushing, he lost control of the Aston Martin at Turn 13, spun, and smashed the wall at high speed. Even though he was able to bring the car to the pit lane, he could not return to the session as the damage to the front wing and underside proved critical.

Lance Stroll will start Sunday's race from P20, behind Haas' Oliver Bearman. Stroll's teammate, Fernando Alonso, will start his race from P10, behind Williams' Carlos Sainz.
