The Canadian’s impassioned call came after Dutch Formula Regional driver Dilano van ’t Hoff lost his life on Saturday in an accident on a rain-soaked circuit at the top of Raidillon.
The incident involved a high-speed collision and was similar in nature to the accident that cost the life of F2 driver Anthoine Hubert at the same part of the track in 2019.
The fact that two young drivers have now lost their lives at the Belgian venue has led Stroll and others to call for changes to make that section of the circuit safer.
“The story of the day is not the race,” said Stroll after Saturday’s F1 sprint event in Austria. “We lost a young driver in Spa today, and my thoughts are with him and his family.
“It's not fair what happened, and that corner needs to be looked at and changed because we've lost two young talents in like five years. It needs to be changed, just that corner. We're going to go there in a few weeks.
“It's horrible what happened today, and we lost a member of the racing family. We seriously need to think about what to do that that corner, because it's never fun going through there.
“Every time we go through there, we put our lives on the line. And today we saw something bad happen, and it's not right."
