F1 star Lance Stroll says he’ll ‘meet Pierre Gasly in the parking lot’ after pair collide during Silverstone British GP

The two drivers clashed while jostling for position, with Stroll overtaking his opponent after going off track.

The Canadian received a five-second penalty for the manoeuvre before Gasly tried to get back in front, only to clash with the Aston Martin star.

Stroll was relegated three places to 14th as a result of the sanction, while Gasly was forced to retire after puncturing when passing the pit entry.

When asked if he had spoken to Gasly about the incident, Stroll jokingly told PlanetF1.com: “No, I’ll meet him in the parking lot later!”

Stroll, 24, also protested his innocence and questioned his time penalty.

He added: “I got forced off the track both times I passed him, So I’m not really sure why I got a penalty because I was given no room.

“I got a track limits for one and I was forced wide and forced wide and then the next time I passed him again I was given no room.

“I was forced wide and then I came back on the track and we touched. If I was given more room I wouldn’t have had to come back on the track and we wouldn’t have touched.”

Gasly also appeared to be frustrated with Carlos Sainz’s overtake at Silverstone and gave the Ferrari driver a little shove as he spoke to media after the race.
