The Canadian driver lost a wheel and crashed into a barrier at 150mph, leaving his Aston Martin completely destroyed. Viewers were in awe that Stroll was able to walk away without serious injury.
Stroll's Spectacular Crash Delays Qualifying Session
Stroll's crash caused a 34-minute delay in the qualifying session at the Marina Bay Street Circuit in Singapore. His front left wheel was ripped off, and the chassis on the same side was crushed. The debris from the crash almost hit other drivers, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.

Although the impact sent Stroll rocking around his cockpit, the 24-year-old driver appeared unscathed as he left the wreckage. His safety was ensured by the extra safety features implemented in his car. Fans praised the strength of the car's cockpit and its ability to protect drivers.
Verstappen's Winning Streak at Risk
Meanwhile, Max Verstappen's chances of extending his and Red Bull's winning streak took a blow as Carlos Sainz took pole position.
