The Aston Martin F1 team rose from the ashes during the 2023 F1 season. From finishing seventh in 2022 to making a big leap up to fifth this year, the team has come a long way. While there has been chatter about the Silverstone-based team’s exit rumors, its boss, Lawrence Stroll has recently put all those to bed.

Lawrence Stroll firmly feels that with his Aston Martin F1 team, he is at the start of a long journey and wants to see his team reach the top of the pinnacle of motor racing. Senior Stroll has a long-term vision for his team and thus, does not see himself or or Aston Martin exiting F1 anytime soon.

 I don’t know where that speculation came from. I’ve read it in one or two publications recently. You don’t go spending hundreds of millions of pounds, building the greatest new Formula 1 campus, if you’re about to leave the business. I plan to run these businesses for many, many years. I’m at the beginning of the journey on both.

Looking at the reaction of the multi-billionaire businessman, it is quite evident that he and his Aston Martin team are here to stay at the pinnacle of motor racing. Stroll has a vision for the team and he is determined to fulfill his vision and bring the glory days to the team at the earliest.

Aston Martin surpassed expectations during the 2023 F1 season

While Lawrence Stroll has given a very positive verdict on the future of the Aston Martin F1 team, the outfit surpassed all expectations during the recently concluded campaign. Ahead of this year, no one was expecting Fernando Alonso and Co. to finish as high as fifth in the Constructors Championship.

Moreover, had Lance Stroll also managed to put in consistent performances like his former 2-time world champion teammate, the team could have also finished as high as fourth in the standings. McLaren was able to get the jump on them by the closing stages of the 2023 campaign.

Keeping in view everything that has been discussed above, the ongoing winter break will hold immense significance for them. Lawrence Stroll wants to see Aston Martin continue its evolution in 2024 and considering this, the onus is on Mike Krack and his team to come up with the goods.
