So far this what I have gotten: "A very strong cross wind caught Stroll's over sized sharkfin causing him to lose control."

Probably damage of the floor and diffuser. It surely can't be good skidding over the gravel trap on high speed.

According to Autosport it was the front wing.

Edit: And they were correct.

Only 13 laps on Day 1... I wasnt expecting being on the pace just from the strar; rather I expected him to gather decent milleage with Fw-40.

I'll be interested to know how many points the team expect him to score in his contract vs the money he brings to the team.

Like Bottas, loses rear on kerbs, but reacts faster and catches it, only to overcorrect. Ultimately it's his quick reaction that costs him.

I recommend to watch the video at .25x speed!

This is the dumbest thing I've read about F1 in a short time #-o . Like Bottas but better. A. It wasn't like Bottas B. He lost the car = the end, no big deal. What is this drivel about "quick reaction that costs him"? This some next level stuff.
