John Beckman races through explosion to win in Norwalk

Lance Stroll said he was “lost for words” after his amazing third place finish in Azerbaijan in only his eighth F1 start.

Stroll avoided trouble all around him and rode his luck through the safety car periods to run fourth after the red flag, moving up to second when Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel had to pit. He kept his head while being chased down by Valtteri Bottas, only to lose out right at the end when the Finn used DRS to push him down to third – by just 0.105s.

“I’m a bit lost for words,” said Stroll.
