LANCE STROLL allegedly shoved his own physio into a WALL in a fit of rage after another terrible performance for Aston Martin in Qatar.
The Canadian, whose billionaire father owns the team, was eliminated from qualifying at the first hurdle, continuing his dreadful run of form.
The 24-year-old had already faced questions about his future in F1, with rumours rife that he was getting fed up with the sport.
Petulant Stroll stropped and appeared to push his osteopath and performance coach, Henry Howe, into a plastic wall at the rear of the team’s garage after qualifying for the Qatar GP.
He then swore in a TV interview, uttering a total of seven words when faced with three questions about his latest horror show.
Firstly asked what his emotions were, Stroll said: “Yeah s***.”

The interviewer apologised for the language and quizzed him on what he thought was not clicking behind the wheel.
Stroll provided another blunt answer with: “I don’t know.”
He was then asked how the mindset would change for the weekend, abruptly replying: “Keep driving,” before storming off.
Stroll has been a total disappointment this season, scoring just 47 of the team’s 221 points.
