Scrutiny remains on Stroll because of who his father is. Lawrence Stroll is the billionaire owner of the team who attracted Alonso and Newey, so his son's role is constantly highlighted.
Although Lance has an F1 drive seemingly guranteed by his father, it brings extra pressure.
He’s been ever-present on the grid since making his debut with Williams in 2017. Stroll famously took his maiden F1 podium finish during his rookie campaign, finishing third in a chaotic Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Despite generally being slower than veteran teammate Felipe Massa, Stroll ended the year well with regular points finishes for Williams.
2018 was a year to forget for Stroll, with Williams struggling for performance, leaving him to join Racing Point in 2019, coinciding with Lawrence Stroll’s (his father) takeover. 2020 was Stroll’s best season to date, finishing on the podium on two occasions.
In 2021 and 2022, Stroll proved competitive against Sebastian Vettel, although since Alonso’s arrival, the Canadian has rarely shone in terms of results.
