LANCE STROLL destroyed his Aston Martin after losing a wheel in a 150mph crash that was "beyond scary to watch" during\u00a0qualifying for the Singapore Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
Viewers were "amazed" the F1 ace could walk away without serious injury after slamming into a barrier on his final lap of Q1.<\/p>\n

The Canadian saw his\u00a0front left wheel ripped off and much of the chassis on the same side crushed in a smash that delayed a thrilling qualifying session by 34 minutes.<\/p>\n
Stroll had lost control as he veered to the left, with his car spinning in the opposite direction and into the barrier.<\/p>\n
The debris almost took out Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.<\/p>\n
Replays revealed Stroll was sent rocking around his cockpit by the high-speed impact.<\/p>\n

But the 24-year-old appeared unscathed as he got out – after being protected by recent extra safety features for his car.<\/p>\n
He said afterwards: "It was really bad. We had a bad outlap with traffic and there was no temperature in the tyres. There was no grip.<\/p>\n
"I thought we were going out and I tried to push to make up some time, but it didn't work out."<\/p>\n
It came as Max Verstappen's\u00a0chances of extending his and Red Bull's winning run suffered a huge blow, with Carlos Sainz taking pole.<\/p>\n
