Is this the best start to the F1 season so far?

Lance Stroll had a crazy start to the Japanese Grand Prix. The Aston Martin driver had to start from 19th position on the wet Suzuka circuit after a very disappointing qualifying session, but the Canadian had his best start of the season. Stroll won an awful lot of places, making it perhaps the best start of the entire F1 season.

By the time the safety car comes out on the first lap for the crashed Carlos Sainz, Stroll is already in 11th position. Points unfortunately did not earn him any, with the 23-year-old driver eventually finishing 12th.
