Lance Stroll hasn’t been easy since the start of the season. Not only is he limited to two 10th positions, but his Aston Martin teammate, four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel, is often ahead of him.
The 23-year-old Quebecer encourages himself to the best of his ability. He hopes passing in front of his family this weekend will allow him to make a fresh start.
Limited to 12th in the second free practice session on Friday, he believes his car should allow him to be competitive in qualifying, especially since Vettel offered himself for the 4th time, only three -tenths of the leader of the day, Max Verstappen of Red Bull.
Now we are competitive as a teamhe argued late in the afternoon when it started to rain on the Gilles-Villeneuve circuit.
At P2, I found myself in traffic on my last flying lap and I didn’t have a chance to improve my time. But we have shown that we have that pace in Q3 tomorrow. This is the goal.
Rain could come and break the party during the qualifying session, which will add suspense.
It can be interesting in the rain, he said. Always different in the rain.
Asked about recent aerodynamic improvements made to the car, he didn’t come too close.
He also appreciated the reception from the public when single-seaters entered the track for the first time since 2019.
The pleasure of feeling back in Montreal, to feel all the strength of the crowd. This is special.
The walk has two top 10 finishes in three races at the Canadian Grand Prix. He finished in 9th place in 2017 with Williams, and again in 2019 with Racing Point.
