Aston Martin clarify Lance Stroll’s F1 future: ‘No debate for next year’

The Canadian has struggled to get on level terms with Alonso in F1 2023 - he curr♋ently trails him by 121 points in the drivers’ championshi💮p.
Alonso has scored seven podiums to Stroll’s zero, leading to some quꦆestions about his future.
One rumour circulated ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix that Stro💮ll was considering a career switch to tennis - which he has since laughed off.
Speaking at M🌼onza, team boss Mike Krack stated that Stroll would remain with the team for next year, partnering Alonso.
"It's Monza, it's driver silly season and it's a bit boring at the moment," said Krack. "I think we don't have any such debate at the moment. We will be fine next year with the two driv🥃ers.
"I think we have seen over the last week a very hard-working driver, trying to analyse everไy little deta🀅il where he can improve, being in the simulator, driving a lot, so I think there's nothing that goes in that direction."

Despite the aforementioned points gap, Kra💝ck believes the gap i🍬n raw performance isn’t as big.
“There is not a marked gap in performanc♔e, there is a marked gap in points,” he added. “And then it's important to separate between the two. We as a team are analysing the season, from both perspectives, from both drivers.
"And I think we, as a team, need to do a much, much better job on that side of the garage, on race 𒐪strategy, but also we had r🍌eliability issues, and it was always hitting that car. So that is something we need to do much, much better."
