Aston Martin has revealed that Lance Stroll's Japanese Grand Prix radio rant about top speed was actually the result of a tyre offset to his Formula 1 rivals.
Stroll found himself having to battle through the field at Suzuka after a disappointing qualifying performance had left him down in 16th on the grid. He did manage to make progress, eventually finishing 12th in the race at Suzuka, but in the closing stages, as he fought the RB of Yuki Tsunoda, he voiced his frustration at the way that his Japanese rival was pulling away on the straights. 'It's unbelievable how bad our speed is on the straight man,' declared Stroll.
Instead, he said it was an illusion that had been caused by rivals around him having better tyres which gave them much better traction out of corners so they could accelerate and reach top speed earlier.
