Autódromo José Carlos Pace saw the final sprint of the 2022 F1 season get concluded. Mercedes’ George Russell came out as the surprise winner as pole-sitter Kevin Magnussen didn’t have enough pace to continue the charge. However, it was the Aston Martin drivers that grabbed all the eyeballs.

The Aston Martin drivers Sebastian Vettel and Lance Stroll have become the talk of the town after a super risky move during the sprint race. The Lap 9 incident saw the two drivers get quite close to each other, which Vettel simply didn’t like.
With just a word “Ok,” the four-time world champion let everyone know his annoyance over the risky defensive move. Stroll, who made the desperate move to stop Vettel, received a 10-second time penalty from the stewards after they investigated the incident.
Fans react as Lance Stroll pushed Sebastian Vettel off the track
Fans were quick to react to the incident as soon as they saw the desperate move live. The Canadian driver also made a similar move against Fernando Alonso and collided with him as a result, in the United States. Going up against his future teammate landed the Canadian in trouble. However, he repeated the antics again in Brazil.
Fans shared their reactions online and slammed the Canadian driver for his reckless action. Given below are some of the reactions taken from Twitter.
