WATCH: Is Lance Stroll's time in F1 finally up?

Along with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez, Stroll🐷’s future is a topic that continues to be hotly debated.
Stroll’s consistent underperformance in F1 2023 is the ไmain reason Aston Martin are set to lose fourth in the constructors’ championship to McLaren.
The Canadian has scored 136 points fewer than teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso, who remarkably sits third in the standings.
The vast chasm between the two teammates is only greater at Red Bull, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen scoring 209 points more than Perez so far.
In many normal cases, Stroll’s form would lead to him🍷 being sacked at the end of the season - and most likely out of F1 for good - however his case is unique in🎶 the fact that his billionaire father - Lawrence Stroll - owns the team.
As ꦅa result, his future as a driver within tౠhe team is basically untouchable for as long as Lawrence is the owner or if Lance wants to stick around.
Lawrence has backed his son from the start, funding his✤ karting career, ultimately leading him to join the Ferrari Driver Academy as one of their prestigious talents.
Stroll’🐷s rise through the ranks was impressive, but again, he had a unique advantage given his father’s incredible wealth and connections.
Lawrence’s acquisition of the entire Prema operation put the odds in his son’s favour, so it was ꦛno surprise he would dominate and take the title in 2016.
Combined with the fact that they were paying Wil♌liams to privately test their 2014 car in preparation for F1.
It ultimately cul▨minated in Stroll making his gr𒆙and prix debut with the Grove outfit a year later, at just 18 years of age.
Despite the critics, and a fairly uninspiring start alongside veteran 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Felipe Massa, Stroll turned things around with an impressive weekend in Azerbaijan, scoring his maiden podium♒.
He would ultimately end the season jus﷽t a few points behind Massa in the standings - impressive given Logan Sargeant in 2023 hasn’t yet to score whe🐼n teammate Alex Albon has picked up 23.
An uncompetitive Williams package in 2018 - with the team not willing to sell to t💎he Strolls - saw Lawrence takeover the Force India 🀅outfit.
Rebranded as Racing Point (a🀅nd now Aston Martin), the Strolls have remained at the Silverstone-based outfit ever since.

Stroll was co༺mprehensively beaten by new teammate Perez in 2🔯019, however, 2020 showed he had scope to progress.
A very competitive Racing Point 🦩allowed Stroll (and Perez) rack up big points, including a 1-3 finish at the Sakhir Grand Prix.
While෴ the final points tally didn’t reflect Stroll’s season entirely, with bad luck and COVID-19 having an 🅺impact overall.
Stroll then performed respectfully alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel at the newly branded A☂ston Martin, with the pair evenly-matched come race da𓆉y.
At this point, it seemed that Stroll had established himself as a solid, midfield performer whose F1 future wasn’t questio𝓀ned as frequently.
However, fast forward to 2023, it’s a different sto💯ry.
Ironically, Stroll’s best form came෴ at the start of the⛦ season when he was recovering from a hand injury.
With his performances not getting any better, frustrations have boiled over in recent round🔯s, particula൲rly in Qatar, where he was seen pushing his personal trainer.
The enjoyment is🥀 clearly dwindling for Stroll and alongside Alonso, he has one of the toughest teammates on the grid.

What﷽ the future holds is up to him - or hi🧸s father.
Given the leꦐvel of investment and time that has been put into Stroll’s career🍨 - and subsequent team in the form of Aston Martin - it would be hard to give up.
If Stroll was to leave F1, he wouldn’t be short of opportunities elsewhere - in other motorsport cat𒉰egories or outside, Tennis, perhaps?
Similarly Aston Martin’s resurgence will make it an attractive proposition for at least half of t𝐆he grid.
