Stroll over halfway to ban after Vettel incident

Lance Stroll has moved onto eight penalty points after his incident with Aston Martin team-mate Sebastian Vettel during F1 Sprint in Brazil.

Stroll moved across on Vettel as they battled for position along the Reta Oposta at Interlagos.

Vettel was forced to back out of the move though swiftly passed Stroll and wound up ninth overall.

Stewards handed Stroll a 10-second time penalty for a “dangerous manoeuvre” and also applied three penalty points to his Super Licence.
