LANCE STROLL and Nicholas Latifi crashed out of qualifying for the Australian Grand Prix after an almighty mix-up. Williams’ Latifi, 26, went to overtake his Canadian compatriot seconds after letting Stroll pass during Q1. Latifi was fuming after the incident, telling Sky Sports: “For me it’s quite clear. Stroll’s take on the incident was a complete contrast immediately after the fact as he questioned Latifi’s decision-making. The misunderstanding came as Latifi initially allowed Stroll to pass, believing he was beginning to start his qualifying lap. But after seeing the Aston Martin car slow Latifi decided he would go back in front and did so until Stroll caught his left wheel.
