Lance Stroll has called on the FIA to make a change after the tragic passing of eighteen-year-old Dilano van 'T Hoff today during a race at Spa-Fancorchamps.

The motorsport world is grappling with the loss of a promising young talent, Dilano Van 'T Hoff, who tragically died in an incident during the Spa-Francorchamps event of the Formula Regional European Championship. The 18-year-old Dutch driver's untimely death has not only led to an outpouring of tributes from the racing community but has also sparked scrutiny of the track where the incident took place. In particular, the legendary Raidillon section and the entrance to the renowned Eau Rouge corner are under renewed focus.

Speaking to Sky Sports F1 after the Austrian Grand Prix sprint race, Stroll wanted to take the moment to speak about what happened. He explained:

"Just a quick word for Dilano and Spa. I mean, it's a tragic day for motorsport. We lost a driver today.

"I just want everyone to think about that and my thoughts are with him today.

"It breaks my heart what happened and I think Eau Rouge needs some looking into because we've lost two drivers now in a span of four or five years.

"And it's a really dangerous corner. And we say it every year. You know, it's it's not fair.

"I think it's way too dangerous. And I think every time we go through there, it's there's an accident waiting to happen. And today, it happened again, and we lost a young kid. Yeah, it's not fair.

"We have to talk about it. It's like I said two drivers in a span of five years and that corner needs some changing.

"I just wanted to say that out loud before getting into my race, because that's been in the back of my mind today. And yeah, it's a sad day for for racing."
