The F1 2021 season started with a bang as reigning Driver's Champion Lewis Hamilton won the Bahrain Grand Prix by beating Red Bull's Max Verstappen in what turned out to be a scintillating race. The next race as per the F1 2021 schedule is the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix. Here's a look at a throwback video featuring Lance Stroll's pit stop disaster at the 2020 Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix.

Lance Stroll F1 team pit stop disaster

The 2020 Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix was a surreal race with Lewis Hamilton beating Mercedes teammate Valterri Bottas with Daniel Ricciardo finishing in third for Renault. However, things did not go as planned for Lance Stroll F1 team, Racing Point (now Aston Martin F1). Not only did they finish out of the points but Lance Stroll also had a disastrous pit stop as seen in the video below.

The official F1 Instagram handle captioned the post, "Pit stops don’t always go exactly to plan 😮 Cold brakes caught out Lance Stroll at last season’s Emilia Romagna Grand Prix causing this unfortunate collision with one of his pit crew. #ImolaGP 🇮🇹 #F1 #Formula1." As one can see, the pit crew member had a dramatic collision as he collided with Lance Stroll's car and then tripped as a result of the cable. Fortunately for him, he escaped by only suffering minor injuries.
