After the 2016 Formula 3 season, Stroll made the step to Formula 1. Williams technical chief Paddy Lowe announced the young Canadian as the replacement for Valtteri Bottas, who moved to Mercedes. Felipe Massa stayed on for another year to help guide him.

Stroll had a difficult rookie season, but his standout moment came in Baku, where he finished third. That result made him the second-youngest driver ever to stand on a Formula 1 podium.

After two challenging seasons with Williams, Stroll moved to Racing Point in 2019. That opportunity came after his father, Lawrence Stroll, became the team’s owner. He was quickly labelled a pay driver. Since then, Stroll has had multiple teammates and has remained with the team through its transition from Racing Point to Aston Martin.

Lance Stroll 2026

Stroll continues with Aston Martin in 2026, marking his eighth season with the team. Over the years, Lawrence Stroll has invested heavily to turn the team into a contender.

The 2026 season introduces completely new technical regulations, meaning all teams effectively start from scratch. The AMR26, driven by Stroll, has been designed by Adrian Newey, who has contributed to numerous championship-winning cars.

Even if Aston Martin produces a competitive car, Stroll faces a significant challenge. He must compete not only with teammate Fernando Alonso, but also with drivers such as Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris.

Lance Stroll 2025

Ahead of the 2025 season, there was optimism within Aston Martin, partly due to the arrival of key figures such as Enrico Cardile and Adrian Newey. However, the season proved difficult, with much of the focus already shifting to the 2026 car.

Aston Martin finished seventh in the constructors’ championship with 89 points. Stroll scored 33 of those and ended the season in 16th place, well behind Alonso, who finished tenth with 56 points.

Lawrence Stroll, father of Lance

Lance Stroll’s father, billionaire Lawrence Stroll, played a key role in his Formula 1 career. He acquired the Force India team in 2019 when it faced financial difficulties, ensuring his son a seat. The team was later rebranded as Racing Point and eventually Aston Martin.
