Probably nothing will come of this but at least someone is trying to do something

Lance Stroll and Franco Colapinto are at the centre of a surprise Formula 1 feud, with Stroll telling Colapinto to “focus on scoring a point” after Colapinto’s post-Brazilian Grand Prix criticism of Stroll.

Just after the Brazilian GP, Colapinto, having witnessed Stroll make contact with Gabriel Bortoleto on the opening lap ahead of him, reportedly accused Stroll of “always taking people out, just not looking in the mirrors, leaving no [space]. And he puts Gabi in the wall.

“It’s what he does every time.”

Stroll wasn’t impressed to hear that criticism as he told media, when asked about Colapinto’s comments in Las Vegas.

“I heard about it, I don't know, maybe he's frustrated and angry with life,” Stroll said.

“I don't know how many points he has in the championship. How many?”

Stroll was told Colapinto has zero points. He replied, “Zero? He has zero points.

"He should probably focus on his own things and try and score some points at some point this year.”

Stroll pointed out he didn’t get a penalty in Brazil and even Bortoleto didn’t blame him for their contact, despite Bortoleto coming off far worse.

“I spoke with Gabriel after, it was racing,” Stroll added.

“Yeah, probably Franco should focus on scoring a point or something this year.”

He added: “I’m not surprised. Maybe like I said, he's frustrated with his season and where he wants to be.

“And he needs to speak about other things that’s irrelevant. So yeah, my advice to him is he tries to focus on his own thing, maybe score a point this year.”

Stroll’s ‘focus on scoring a point’ comments were put to Colapinto in the pre-event press conference.

“I think you're seeing a heat of the moment after the race,” Colapinto said.

“So the incident with Gabriel – I was just behind, and I just saw the moment. But of course, sorry if it affected him, of course. I was in the heat [of the moment] after the race, and yeah, hopefully it's all good between us.

“But we've been spending a lot of time together on track in the races. We've been very close to each other, and we had some close fights.”

Mr Justice Jay handed down his ruling from that hearing on Thursday. He allowed the matter to proceed and said Massa had a "real prospect of proving at trial" his case for damages.

However, to allow the declaration element of Massa's case to proceed "comes too close in my view to impinging on the right of the FIA to govern its own affairs", the judge said.

"Mr Massa is not entitled to claim declaratory relief for reputational or publicity reasons," he added.

"The present claim cannot of course rewrite the outcome of the 2008 drivers' world championship, but if declaratory relief along the lines sought were granted that is how Mr Massa would present his victory to the world and it is also how it would be perceived by the public."
