Hailing from Montreal in Canada, Lance Stroll has been the talk of the town throughout the weekend so far at the 2023 Canadian GP. A lot of drama has taken place even before the weekend could start. The Canadian GP was on the verge of being cancelled due to immense wildfires that were spreading throughout the country. However, recent developments mean that the race was given a green light by the authorities.
The Canadian GP is Lance Stroll’s home race. In the four years that he has been a part of the grand prix weekend, the Canadian driver has had a best result of ninth place. He got this result in 2017 and 2019. The race was cancelled due to COVID-19 in 2020 and 2021. Max Verstappen is the most recent winner of the Canadian GP. Last year, Stroll managed to score a single point after placing tenth.
Ahead of the 2023 iteration of the race, Lance Stroll is currently 8th in the championship standings. This is actually his best start to a season so far. The car itself feels comfortable according to him. Ahead of qualifying, the Canadian has given his take on the weekend and the car so far. With FP1 cancelled after just 4 minutes of running , it was interesting to see both the Aston Martin’s in the top 3.
Lance Stroll is happy with the Aston Martin so far
Here is what the Aston Martin driver had to say in an interview. “When you’re using new upgrades, the practice sessions are all about learning how they affect the ride and making sure they work as expected,” he said. “I was happy with the car and thought it felt good, but we’ll take the time tonight to look through the data and make sure we’re ready to put in a strong showing in qualifying tomorrow,” he continued.
Lawrence Stroll had previously stated that he wanted to see both the Aston Martins on the podium. After being P2 and P3 in FP1, the hopes around the squad have risen. Alongside Lance Stroll, Fernando Alonso is right there to lead the team and bring in the results. It will be interesting to see how Lance performs against Fernando in the Canadian GP. It will be a matter of pride and glory at Circuit-Gilles Villeneuve.
