Lance Stroll, member of the Aston Martin Formula 1 team, expressed his belief that the points difference between him and his teammate Fernando Alonso is not a true reflection of their direct performance. Despite Alonso’s dominance over Stroll in the last season, the Canadian driver feels that external factors can heavily influence the points scored, making them misleading. Stroll points out that Alonso’s status as a two-time world champion and his reputation as one of the best Formula 1 drivers can overshadow the fact that their qualifying performances have been balanced, with both drivers achieving four wins each. Stroll emphasizes that engine failures and other unforeseen circumstances can significantly impact the final points tally at the end of the season, creating a deceptive image of their respective performances.
Mike Krack, CEO of Aston Martin, acknowledged that the updates implemented by the team in Imola did not bring the expected improvements and instead made the car more challenging to control. However, it was Fernando Alonso who had an accident during FP3 and was eliminated in Q1 at the Italian circuit, while Lance Stroll had a confident performance, finishing in ninth place.
Reflecting on his recent performances, Stroll expressed satisfaction with his own form. He highlighted that, in terms of pace and speed, he has matched his teammate, who is often considered highly skilled. Stroll’s success against his teammate in the last races speaks for itself.
Stroll reiterated his commitment to the Aston Martin project, emphasizing his excitement for the team’s future endeavors. He stressed that he finds more satisfaction in being part of Aston Martin’s journey than in seeking opportunities elsewhere.
Antes de sua corrida em casa no Circuito Gilles Villeneuve, Stroll, cuya posición con la Aston Martin para 2025 aún no ha sido confirmada, reafirmó su deseo de permanecer con el equipo. Cuando se le preguntó sobre sus planes para 2025, Stroll afirmó que se ve continuando con la Aston Martin. Él expresó entusiasmo con los desarrollos ocurriendo en Silverstone y el crecimiento del equipo en los últimos años, indicando su fuerte conexión con el proyecto. Mientras él está enfocado en tener un buen desempeño en Montreal, su carrera en casa, él también tiene sus ojos puestos en un futuro a largo plazo con la Aston Martin.
