Lance Strulovitch (born 29 October 1998), commonly known as Lance Stroll, is a Canadian racing driver, who competes in Formula One for Aston Martin.
Born and raised in Montreal, Stroll is the son of billionaire businessman Lawrence Stroll, owner of the Aston Martin F1 Team. Stroll began competitive kart racing aged 10, winning several regional and national titles. A member of the Ferrari Driver Academy since 2010, Stroll graduated to junior formulae in 2014, winning his first title at the Italian F4 Championship that year with Prema. He then won the Toyota Racing Series in 2015 with M2, and dominated the FIA Formula 3 European Championship in 2016 with Prema.
Following his record-breaking successes in Formula Three,[a] Stroll signed for Williams in 2017 to partner Felipe Massa, making his Formula One debut at the Australian Grand Prix, aged 18. He scored his maiden podium finish in Azerbaijan that year, becoming the second-youngest driver to score a podium finish. Stroll finished a season-best eighth at the same Grand Prix in 2018, driving the FW41. After two seasons at Williams, Stroll signed for Racing Point—having recently been acquired by his father—in 2019 to partner Sergio Pérez, finishing fourth at the rain-affected German Grand Prix. In 2020, Stroll achieved his maiden pole position at the Turkish Grand Prix, with podium finishes at the Italian and Sakhir Grands Prix. Stroll remained at the re-branded Aston Martin in 2021, partnered by Sebastian Vettel for two seasons. Stroll has been teammates with Fernando Alonso since 2023, finishing a career-best tenth in the World Drivers' Championship that year.
As of the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Stroll has achieved one pole position and three podiums in Formula One. Stroll is set to remain at Aston Martin until at least the end of the 2026 season.[1] Outside of Formula One, Stroll competed in two editions of the 24 Hours of Daytona in 2016 and 2018 with CGR and Jackie Chan DC, respectively.
