Biography
Lance Stroll Biography
Williams F1 Factory, Lance Stroll
Like many race drivers, the Geneva-based Canadian Lance Stroll began his Motorsport career in karting and recorded numerous race and championship wins in his native Canada and North America.
At the beginning of 2015, Stroll won the New Zealand-based Toyota Racing Series, recording 10 podiums – including four wins – from 16 race starts. The same year he also contested the FIA Euro F3 Series with the Italian Prema team, winning one race outright and achieving 17 top-six overall race finishes in the ultra-competitive 33-race series driving a Dallara F312 Mercedes.
Stroll closed out his busy 2015 season – contesting 50 races in all – making his debut in the Macau Formula 3 Grand Prix. Stroll was part of the Ferrari Driver Academy and the second youngest driver to be signed to a Formula One team. On 11 November 2015, it was announced that Stroll would leave Ferrari to serve as a test driver for Williams.

In 2016 Stroll remained with the Prema Powerteam, for a third consecutive year, to contest the Euro F3 Series for a second year. He began 2016 by finishing 5th in the Rolex 24 at Daytona in a Ford Chip Ganassi Racing entered Ford EcoBoost Prototype to become the youngest highest-placed overall finisher in the history of the event.
In the 2016 Euro F3 series, Stroll took eleven wins and claimed the title in the second race at Imola, over a hundred points clear of his main rival Maximilian Günther.
On 3 November 2016, Williams Martini Racing announced that Stroll will drive for them in 2017 Formula One season. He will become the first Canadian F1 driver since the 1997 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve, who coincidentally started his F1 career at Williams.
2017 wasn't a bad season for Williams. The team finished 4th in the constructors championship and Stroll was only 3 points behind former Ferrari driver Felipe Massa.
The 2018 season was horrible for Stroll at Williams. The Williams FW41 was the slowest car on the grid and Lance only could score 6 points and end up as 18th in the drivers' championship.
Halfway through the 2018 season the father of Lance bought the Force India shares and changed the name to Racing Point for 2019 with his son as 2nd driver next to Sergio Pérez. This is the season in which Stroll can show what he's made of. In the first 2 races of the season he outperformed his highly-rated teammate Sergio Pérez.
Even though Perez was dominant in qualifying in the first half of 2019, leading Stroll 12-0, the Canadian was better on Sundays, scoring 18 points against the Mexican's 13. His best finish in the first half of 2019 occurred in Germany, where he led the race and eventually finished fourth.
In the second half, Stroll could not compete against his experienced teammate. The Canadian only scored points in two of the last nine races (10th at Spa and ninth at Japan).
He ended the year in 15th in the WDC with just 21 points.
Stroll scored points in six of the first seven races in 2020, and in the eighth round, the 2020 Italian Grand Prix at Monza, he achieved the second podium of his career with a good third place that could have been a win if he had a good start in the second start of the GP.
In the 2020 Turkish Grand Prix, Stroll silenced his critics after achieving his first-career Pole Position in wet conditions. In the race, he led comfortably in the first part before an issue in his front wing pushed him back to ninth.
