Lance Stroll admitted he was left frustrated after another Q1 exit in Spain. The Racing Point driver was knocked out in the first session, down in 17th position.

The Canadian driver added he still wasn't feeling completely comfortable with the set up of the 2019 Racing Point car.

With Sergio Perez out-qualifying him for the Spanish Grand Prix, it meant the inter-team battle between the pair was now 5-0 in favour of Perez.

Stroll admitted that it was frustrating to be out in Q1 after demonstrating a decent pace during the practice sessions earlier in the weekend.

"Yeah, it is. We just have to figure it out."

He also added that the fine margin between him and his teammate was down to the smaller details and that his side of the garage had to work on them going forward.

"Yeah, it's very tight. Every little detail counts when it's that tight and my teammate just scraped through and I got knocked out so, not much we can do about it."
