Lance Stroll, the driver of an Aston Martin, crashed into the barrier on the opposite side of the circuit when his front left tyre struck an inside wall on just the seventh lap of the race on Saturday night. Stroll’s day was finished by the forceful shunt, which also revealed an early safety car. Several drivers, including Pérez, who pitted while his crew installed a set of hard tyres to last the remainder of the race, made their way down pit lane to benefit from the safety car. Nevertheless, Pérez slid ahead of Fernando as he emerged from the pits.
