Williams have been forced to end their day of pre-season testing early due to a spin from Lance Stroll. The Canadian lost the rear end of his car and flew threw the gravel trap, but was able to get going again.

However it was announced at during the lunch that the team would not be running for the rest of the day sue to a lack of spare parts available.

"Lance was on lap six of his second run when he had a spin.," said Rob Smedley, Head of Performance Engineering. "The grip was particularly low and so he spun and went through the gravel backwards. Even though the accident was entirely innocuous we’ve unfortunately had quite a bit of accident damage, which we’re now in the process of repairing.

"We’re having to send some composite parts back to the factory, which will be back with us at some point tomorrow. We’re doing the upmost we can now to get back out on track at the earliest opportunity tomorrow. We will be able to recover the programme in the coming days."
